Soma group experiment introduction: study circle and street art activism
Soma is a libertarian group experiment using body and play to inspire cooperation. Created in Brazil as an anarchist therapy, by Roberto Freire, Soma games are invitations and challenges to share physical experiences of collaboration, trust, care and responsibility. It's this social environment, the group dynamic developed by playing body games, that stimulate the whole being to engage into the world. After the games, the participants share their experiences, talking about their perceptions, feelings and emotions playing together. The games and talks are the material to work with in the group dynamic and trigger new experiments.
The Soma cycle consists of 5 weekend seminars in one year, facilitated by Jorge Goia, who learned from Roberto Freire. It will be accompanied by monthly meetings of the participants building a group of activists that meet to discuss and run actions of political street art. Soma implies the experimental sessions as well as progressive work on group dynamics. The monthly meetings and actions will help the group bond and apply their co-created knowledge from the sessions.
We are inviting everyone to join who is willing to commit for at least 4 of 5 weekends of Soma sessions and to be part of more than the half of the meetings and actions within the group. We will have to cover the expenses for the project.
