a woman’s* guide to power
UNBOUND
Embodied Study Circle
9 weeks, online
Starts October 4th
Sunday at 18:00 (NL)
* open to all brave FLINTA bodies
You know you possess undeniable power. You know your emotions are raw energy that can literally move and create worlds. You’ve been curious about submission and dominance for a while…
But for far too long you have defaulted to being the polite, palatable, undisruptive "good girl" or her queer-sibling equivalent.
no more.
In this 8-week study circle, we will gather around the powerful work of professional dominatrix and Taoist nun Kasia Urbaniak to learn all about how power dynamics work and how you can embody them in your everyday life to GET WHAT YOU WANT.
We will read her book UNBOUND together and every week gather to discuss our insights and questions and explore somatic embodiment exercises to work this material deeply into our nervous systems, skin and somatic awareness.
You will finish reading the book not only with more information but with muscle-memory embodiments that will become the foundation of your new behavioural patterns and emotional responses.
This is a full-system empowerment upgrade.
what is an embodied study circle?
This is a glorified book club. But instead of reading to sound smart at cocktail parties, we are diving deep into the material of this book in order to embody it confidently in the everyday moments of our lives that matter most: uncomfortable family conversations when boundaries need to be set, salary and promotion negotiations when you need to be clear about your worth, and intimate encounters when you want to ask for and GET what you want.
the program
The book has 16 (short) chapters, so we will divide this Glorified Book Club into 8 sessions + 1 bonus workship session.
Every book club session will include ~30-40mins of facilitated somatic exploration of the theme. Think gentle movement, partner exercises and archetype embodiments.
The remaining 50-60mins of each session will be dedicated to group discussion and a sharing circle. This is the part where we take the real material of our daily lives into the discussion to see how we can actually make this shit work for us.
the bonus skill you didn’t know you needed.
In the middle of the course we will invite a guest shibari teacher to give us a self-tying Shibari workshop (~2hrs)
Self-tying is a deeply nourishing practice that you can do entirely on your own. This workshop will teach you an amazing nervous system regulation tool whenever you want to feel closely held and awaken the edgy pleasure of kink. It’s also a beautiful way to explore the polarities of submission and dominance all within yourself.
