Join JL Umipig for an evening of tapping into the body and its ability to preserve life, for self, family and community. JL will share some of her training and orientation rooted in the Filipino Martial Art- Kali, that is ancestrally connected to a revolutionary fighting methodology utilized in protecting the families and communities from the threats of Colonized armies and oppressors. She will translate some of these teachings to the fight of Wome/xn in relationship to the violence of a Patriarchal world.

We will move through a workshop around awareness, preservation, and defense, utilizing body strength from awareness and the utilization of weapons of opportunity. We will close the session with Yogic practice to tap into breath and body in grounding the alignment of the body with the centering of mind and spirit.
