Description
This holistic healing workbook offers a unique approach to recovery from sexual trauma. Body Rites combines indigenous roots and land-based healing with African spiritual practices to provide a gentle guide for exploring the impact of trauma on the mind, body, heart, and spirit.
Divided into four healing journeys, this resource is designed specifically for Black women, femmes, and nonbinary survivors of sexual assault. It invites readers to engage in intimate conversations with themselves and tap into their intuition as a source of healing.
By drawing on psychophysiology, lived body wisdom, trauma-informed embodiment practices, kinship, and ancestral connections, Body Rites provides a holistic approach to healing that prioritises the individual's journey towards recovery and self-discovery.
