MOVING SHAME with Gemma Lucas
Sold Out
Gemma Lucas is a Yoga teacher and researcher who is currently exploring how shame is an under-acknowledged factor in our mental health, especially when underpinned by harmful gender norms. Her yoga sessions are designed to ground us in compassionate self-acceptance. In this workshop she will guide you through a mixture of gentle yoga practices and creative activities which invite you to reflect on your own personal experiences of the discomfort of shame and its social and cultural causes. Together we will explore how creative practices can help us to (re)move shame in our bodies and lives.
This event was co-designed with Meg John Barker. Image from the zine Welcome Monster Feelings.

Gemma is currently doing research on people's experiences of shame with a focus on queer people's experiences, and your contributions during this workshop would be a really valuable contribution to that. She therefore hopes to record the workshop so that anonymised data might be used for research purposes. She will ask for your consent on the day for this, but there will be no pressure and you will be able to opt out or ask for the recorder to be switched off at any time and for any reason
