Self-care for Organizers Workshop:
As organizers, we spend our time focusing on the needs of our communities, and in
the process often sacrifice our own well-being. Our lifestyles can
aggravate chronic conditions or cause new health problems to develop. In
this workshop, participants will learn acupressure points that help
alleviate stress, balance digestive disturbances, prevent fatigue, and
combat burnout, as well as address trauma and PTSD. We'll also look at the common causes of these imbalances
and how as a community we can support each other to build a stronger,
healthier movement. The workshop will include a brief introduction to
acupressure and the body's meridian system, specific acupressure point
descriptions and uses, and a chance to practice point locations. Each
participant will receive handouts they can use for self-care and share
with other organizers.
Acu for Organizers workshops
are free and open to the public, unless otherwise noted. Donations to
offset travel or material costs are appreciated, please see paypal link

Thanks to everyone who made the Spring 2011 series in Detroit, Chicago, Washington DC, New York, and Madison a success! Workshops were held at the Chicago Women's Health Center, the Spiral Collective in Detroit, Bluestockings Bookstore and GOLES in New York City, the Jam Jar House in Washington, DC, and a number of locations in Madison, WI.
"I attended the Acupressure for Organizers workshop in Chicago, and
it was incredible! I learned how to incorporate acupressure into my own
self-care and came away with practical ideas for putting it to use in
the work I do and the spaces I am in. I left the workshop thinking a lot
about what it looks like to listen to our bodies and the ways in which
we are often taught as organizers to override this listening. I am
excited to continue learning with folks about how to deepen a holistic
approach to our health, selves, and work. Molly made the workshop fun,
accessible, and engaging." Jen, Chicago IL 5/5/11
"Molly's workshop was a really great introduction to easy-to-use self-care practices for organizers. I found her presentation
clear and accessible even though I had never learned about acupressure
before. She got to the heart of the emotional and physical challenges
organizers face, relating our experiences to the specific practices she
presented. I also appreciated the chance to have a space with other
organizers where we could admit that our work sometimes left us feeling
anxious, tired, and afraid." -Liz, Washington DC 5/2/11
"As a fibromyalgia sufferer, I need to maintain balance in all
aspects of my life, physically and emotionally. As an organizer, I
experience a lot of stress and often wear myself out. Molly's
acupressure workshop gave me the tools to better manage
the symptoms, without needing prescription drugs. In the past I've
tried to use Eastern medicine, but never got it. Molly's straight-forward
explanations and intuitive abilities helped me with many problems that
have eluded my doctors." -Sue, Madison WI 4/27/11
"Thank you! This was amazing and I feel fortunate to have had access to
this workshop. I definitely came away with more tools and resources to
take care of myself and others! St36!" -Ros, New York NY 4/17/11
"Wonderful discussion on acupressure and self care held in Detroit! Thank you, Molly!" - Charity, Detroit MI 4/14/11
"Molly
started with a concise and interesting intro to acupressure and
Traditional Chinese Medicine, allowing folks to feel comfortable in
their own experience of it. She was very well prepared with informative
diagrams that showed specific points that
dealt with stress and other side effects of being a community organizer.
She made a space of trust by speaking to the experiences of organizers
and their work. Molly interspersed her talks with time to hold points on
ourselves and others, allowing us to find these points on our
own and guiding us when needed. Her calm nature and un-intimidating
approach was an apt and comfortable environment for learning." -Boi,
Madison WI 3/24/11
"Yes, all of us present were here because we choose to give to our
community but how well do we take care of ourselves? Through the art of
knowing what pressure points trigger response, Molly helped all of us
find a way to enhance our lives, as well as those we serve & reach
every day, through our work & in our lives." -Gloria, Madison WI 3/20/11
Q20: Embodied Self-Care
A group for people in their 20′s who are out, coming out, or
figuring out their sexual and gender identities. It’s a new take on
support groups that incorporates healing tools where participants learn
and practice self-care with peers and facilitators, and gain access to
self-care resources in the Twin Cities.
The goal is to support people
in a healthy, embodied questioning and coming out process, engaging
resources and tools including acupressure, somatic bodywork and
movement repatterning, self-defense, trauma recovery, and other forms
of embodied self-care.
