FAQ
Digital somatic principles
We reflect critically and choose what kind of technologies we want to connect and use. Remixing and remediation are important strategies, we grow best slowly with s meditative approach.
Accessibility
We do not believe in gate-keeping tools of healing. Digital somatics as concept and practice is available for everyone.
Communal
In our contemporary era, third spaces, place that are not work, home or related to commerce, are scarce. We recognize this and present an alternative avenue, a space to heal in community through collective tuning into our body-mind-spirits.
Generative
We build and expand on that has been occurring across time and space, digital somatics builds upon the capacity building in terms of Neema Githere’s data healing, Cyber-doula’s data trauma, the digital gardens of Anikka Hansteen-Izora, the worldbuilding of Dr. Ruha Benjamin andTabita Rezaire, Merriam Bennani, the dreaming spaces of Liz Mputu and Amina Ross. Citing and building in community is integral to digital somatics.
