SUMMARY:The Spectrum and Contexts of Cultural Appropriation
DESCRIPTION:Register now…\n \n \nThis is an OnDemand course.  \nIf you are already a member sign in and add the course to your favorites.   For support\, please reply to your confirmation email or contact hello@embodiedphilosophy.com. \n \n \n \nThe Spectrum and Contexts of Cultural Appropriation\n \n \nIn this course\, we will examine cultural appropriation\, why it happens\, how it can be harmful\, and how to challenge it in our everyday lives. There will be four modules\, and each of these four modules will weave together history\, current examples\, and cultural theory. Most importantly\, we will work together to understand our how society encourages cultural appropriation and how we can rethink/reimagine/redream/re-envision our celebrations\, representations\, and spiritual selves towards the goal of positive change and further education. \n  \nMODULE 1: Introduction – Context and Spectrum  \n​​A straightforward introduction of cultural appropriation within the United States from the perspectives of people of color. This module will show where appropriation happens within American society\, the roots of this problem\, and how it’s connected to the oppression of minorities. Personal reflection and stance on this issue will conclude this first module.  \n\nWhy does cultural appropriation happen?\nHow is it connected to white supremacy?\nMapping out your positionality\n\nMODULE 2: Celebrating  \nOne of the most visual and often overlooked forms of appropriation happens on the days we celebrate the most: Holidays. This module will considerproblems that arise with holidays by examining and discussing visuals representing popular celebrations\, such as Halloween and Thanksgiving. Discussion of what these holidays mean to us and how they create false narratives of others will help facilitate a better understanding of how damaging particular forms of appropriation can be. \n\n Halloween\, Thanksgiving\, St. Patrick’s\, and Columbus Day\n How are holidays tied to our identities and oppression?\nRethinking how you celebrate\n\nMODULE 3: Mascots and Representations \nThe taking of culture and identity is perhaps strongest when it comes to American sports. From professional to high school\, Americans have an unwavering loyalty to their team. This loyalty has led to misunderstanding\, racism\, and bigotry on a national scale when it comes to the appropriation of other cultures and identities. Looking at the recent changes of sports team’s names and the history behind that fight will help educate students about the harm mascots can cause.  \n\nWhy do we create caricatures of groups considered “other?”\nWhat is the harm caused by mascots and racist representations?\nReimagining the idea of tradition and legacy tied to mascots\, high schools\, teams\, etc.\n\nMODULE 4: Spiritualities \nThe spirituality of minority groups in the United States has been massively impacted by capitalism\, federal laws\, and society taking what it wants to fulfill its own wants. From music festivals to self-proclaimed “gurus\,” this module will take a hard look how appropriation dilutes and breaks down the spiritual practices of Native American and Indian cultures.   \n\n What is the impact of capitalism on spiritual practices?\n What is the spectrum of cultural appropriation when it comes to spirituality?\nRedreaming or re-envisioning your spirituality to be anti-oppression and tied to positive impact and change\n\n  \nIn this course students will learn: \n\nAbout cultural appropriation in the context of white supremacy.\nHow to understand their place and privilege in society.\nHow cultural appropriation operates on a spectrum and is contextual.\nHow to identify the context of cultural practices.\nAbout different types of cultural appropriation.\nHow to combat cultural appropriation in the different aspects of their lives.\n\n \n \n \n  \n \n \nIf you are already a member sign in and add the course to your favorites. For support\, please reply to your confirmation email or contact hello@embodiedphilosophy.com. \n \n \n \n  \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \nEric Hemenway is an Anishnaabe/Odawa from Cross Village\, Mi.

SUMMARY:Alzheimers Prevention & Yoga Therapy Today
DESCRIPTION:Register now for the member-only event…\n\n\n\nIf you can’t attend this event live\, all members will have access to the recording. \n\n\n\nAlzheimers Prevention & Yoga Therapy Today\n\n\n\nAlzheimers Disease is a type of dementia that right now at least 50 million people are living with throughout the world\, and an estimated 152 million will be living with the disease by 2050. Until recently\, the attitude towards this condition has been one of despair\, but research over the last several years has shown that our genes do not have to determine our fate. In fact\, the groundbreaking research at some of the top academic medical centers in the world has shown contemplative practices and perspectives can in fact help prevent the onset of Alzheimers disease and promote greater well-being.   \nJoin Dr. Chris Walling\, Embodied Philosophy’s Dean of Faculty & Vice President of the Alzheimer’s Research & Prevention Foundation (ARPF) as he presents the latest cutting-edge research from ARPF’s findings on helping people live better\, longer.   \nDr. Walling will summarize the four pillars of Alzheimer’s Prevention that have proven for nearly three decades to help slow and in some instances reverse brain aging. Come and discuss with him the insights from these advances and the use of evidence-based approaches in yoga therapy that have also shown to reverse cellular aging\, improve memory decline\, and enhance neuroplasticity.  Our With-In attendees will be some of the first to hear of their upcoming research paper on spiritual fitness and yoga\, this is not to be missed!  \n  \nThe With-In is a community conversation on a timely topic. Modern spiritual communities\, in various ways\, are attempting to integrate ancient teachings and traditions with the challenges and questions of modern life. This intersection provokes excitement and curiosity that can be deepened through a co-creative process of community discussion. Questions\, confusions\, and controversies can arise when one attempts to bridge the ancient and modern. This can be illuminating\, but not always comfortable. The With-In provides the community members of Embodied Philosophy an opportunity to learn through the lived experience of others. It is a container through which you can creatively and compassionately sit with these experiences in discussion and community. \n  \n\n\n\nRegister now for the member-only event…\n\n\n\nIf you are already a member sign in and then pre-register for the live event. If you are not a member\, click “Get Access Now”\, sign up for your Free Trial\, and then pre-register for the live event.
