On Two-Spirit Identity and the Body as a Portal to Freedom (In-Person) What role does dominant culture play in how we experience the sensations, thoughts, feelings, and deeper existential mysteries of our bodies?
Dr. Roger Kuhn, a Poarch Creek Two-Spirit Indigequeer activist, artist, sex therapist, and somacultural theorist, believes that Two-Spirit people hold a unique and valuable perspective. Straddling colonial imposition and tribal significance, Two-Spirit identity offers a powerful decolonizing framework to achieve freedom and navigate the toxic systems of domination that impose upon the precious truth of who we are.
Join Dr. Kuhn for a conversation illuminating the ways our bodies offer portals to our own liberation and how viewing our bodies through a somacultural lens can help us better understand how dominant culture informs and, all too often, misinforms our relationship to our bodies. Dr. Kuhn discusses his latest book, Somacultural Liberation , based on his revolutionary mode of inquiry, Somacultural Liberation, an embodied practice that helps people connect with the intersections of their identity. Dr. Kuhn’s approach illuminates the full impact of our cultural reality in shaping both our individual and shared sense of self.
The history and experiences of Native American peoples and those who identify as Two-Spirit provide a path to access the full brilliance of the body. Dr. Kuhn invites you to explore how our bodies offer portals to personal and collective freedom.
Following the conversation, Dr. Kuhn performs an acoustic set of music featuring songs from his most recent music tour, The Two-Spirit Love Tour.
