How do people grow up without the joy of watching children play and laugh with abandon? How do people grow up to see themselves and others who look like them as fraudulent and less than? How do people grow up to see others as less human than themselves? We felt compelled to answer these and other questions.
The stated mission of CORE Assessment is to provide individuals, communities, and organizations with different embodied information sets that they can use to be curious and inquire about the concepts of race and white-body supremacy and their underlying structural philosophy.
Somatic Abolitionism is a living, embodied philosophy—a way of being in the world. It is a return to the age-old wisdom of human bodies respecting, honoring, and resonating with other human bodies.
It is not a goal, an attitude, a belief, an idea, a strategy, a movement, a plan, a system, a political position, or a step forward. Somatic Abolitionism is not a human invention. It is the resourcing of energies that are always present in your body, in the collective body, and in the world. Somatic Abolitionism is an emergent process.Somatic Abolitionism is a form of growing up.
