“Just Rituals” - African Movement Therapy™

Just Rituals or “Justice Rituals” is about rituals at the intersection of justice. Until now, there hasn’t been a widely recognized therapy called "African Movement Therapy." However, ancestrally, people of African descent have used movement as therapeutic modalities for centuries. As movement therapy, in general, encompasses a variety of techniques that utilize movement and physical activity to promote psychological, emotional, and physical well-being–including the more mainstream forms of dance therapy, yoga therapy. Restore Forward invites you to learn and move with us using African body-centered therapies, culturally specific somatic experiencing and other body-centered rituals toward healing justice, body sovereignty and body justice, that have existed but remained unrecognized by mainstream society. It’s time to honor and center the just and the multiple rituals we are calling “African Movement Therapies”.
