SUMMARY:CANCELLED: Mental health normalization ride: BODY AUTONOMY/CONSENT
  edition.
CONTACT:NakedHearts:PDX (Moorland leads)
DESCRIPTION:Heatwave is too much. Ride rescheduled\nThis ride is a safe 
 space. Please limit alcohol and drug use for the safety and comfort of 
 others. Please be mindful to not video or take pictures during the shares 
 with out explicit consent from the person and letting the group know 
 that’s been given. \n\nWe set a clear container at the start of the 
 ride.\n\nThe route will be slow and easy and All Wheels friendly. \n\nThe 
 theme is Consent and Body Autonomy. Some of us will talk on things that 
 can be upsetting to hear (we ask for shares to omit specific details to 
 lessen triggering others). Some of us live in shame because of what 
 someone else has done to us\, there’s a lessening in the self condemnation
  and shame when we hear and know others have had experiences that have 
 caused the same reactions. PTSD and CPTSD in the txt books have a common 
 framework of response to trauma detailed. What we so often need to know is
  that what happened to us wasn’t our fault\, that how we react and feel is
  a pattern of trauma and we all share these reactions and despite our 
 specific experiences we are not alone. We are not alone. \n\nThe ride 
 itself will have several stops. \nAt these stops\, we reaffirm the 
 container and the space we’re in and the boundaries.\nThen we follow a 
 process of speaking\, karaoke/poetry and then to free up the energy and 
 the things our bodies hold onto we dance it out for a few tracks.\n\nThe 
 share flow: \n1/ Take the Mic and tell your story\, or write it down and 
 someone else can read it for you.\n2/ karaoke/share a poem of yours or 
 someone else’s. \n3/ Dance your heart out.\n\nAlso\, let your ride leader 
 know how you feel you want to share and we can try and do that too. You’re
  welcome to stand in silence before the whole group for a few minutes. 
 Silence is the pattern most of us follow who’ve had our consent ignored. 
 Those of us who understand will understand. \n\nThis is the 6th mental 
 health ride and each ride poses it’s own challenges and needs for fluidity
  around what we all need. \nThis is the specific ride that the others were
  preparing us to lead\, I (Moorland) have been trying to avoid posting 
 this ride because I know the personal weight it carries for me and some 
 part of me wishes to continue to be silent and not be open\, but that is 
 our experience as well….my struggle is so many of yours struggle too. 
 We’re together in this. \n\nPlease bring yourself how you are…nobody needs
  to speak or even witness others….the intent and container is set such 
 that just knowing of this ride imparts it’s intent with more magic.\nMeet 
 for 6:00 and ride for 6:30ish\nhttps://shift2bikes.org/calendar/event-
