Body Remedy

“The power of the group to transform one another’s lives seemed to be determined by the intensity of each individual’s desire to recover, to find a space within and without, where [they] could sustain the will to be well and create affirming habits of being.” 

—- Sisters of the Yam, bell hooks

Body Remedy, based in Glasgow is a [forming] ecology that centres physical practice for self-recovery. Contributors and participants of Body Remedy are black people and people of colour (BPOC) who identify as women and non-binary. We organise as a small local team led by founder Mele Broomes in collaboration with Lead Producer Zoë Zo Tumika.

Our programme spans from workshops, residencies and creative development. We create shared spaces for workshops which offer a range of physical and embodiment techniques to facilitate pathways for individuals to shape their own self-directed practice and support body awareness.

This [still] / forming ecology is tended by both teachers and participants who share the learnings, skills and creative practices that ground us in our lives.
