A paradigm shift isn't just happening to us, it's happening through us.
As the systems around us collapse, we will be looking toward one another to fill in the gaps. Emotional maturity is key to creating systems that work for our individual and collective well-being.
The Shift: Self Awareness
for A New Paradigm
Join a growing community of Black, Indigenous, and melanated changemakers learning and practicing skills to help us stay grounded and connected in challenging times. Together we will:
- Learn about our emotional triggers and how to respond to them
- Practice somatic self regulation skills
- Build individual and relational capacity for resilience
“Ayo is a wonderful practitioner, I am thankful that I know her and that I have had the opportunity to be part of the community healing that she is administering so gently and lovingly alongside my own personal healing journey.”

The Shift: Course Info
Join somatic coach, facilitator, and bodyworker, Ayo Clemons for this new workshop series focused on supporting our self awareness as Indigenous, Black, and melanated changemakers. The curriculum is a deep dive into uncovering subconscious scripts, identifying triggers and understanding behavioral loops, and understanding projection and blame. We will explore somatic self regulation techniques and self awareness practices so that we can show up for ourselves and one another in more grounded and intentional ways . Together we will support one another as we learn and practice new ways to witness, hold, and care for ourselves and each other in a changing world.
“I am full of gratitude that Ayo practices in the Twin Cities, and to be part of the community she is committed to building here.”
