Join Spring Up co-founders Stas & Leander as they host guests to talk about collaboration, practices, and media that inspire liberatory visioning. The purpose of this podcast is to come together in conversation with collaborators, collective members, and mentors to explore how we get free together by: Co-creating visions of the world we want to live in, building our capacity to collaborate + hold conflict, and sharing the movies, games, and tv shows that are inspiring us and getting us through!

Somatics offers us tools to be able to build the skills and practices that support us in regulating our bodies and nervous systems, such as co-regulation, grounding, meditation, and stimming. This allows us to connect with our needs, helping us to build strategies to meet them and notice when they are being violated. Part of this involves working through our internalized and embodied ableism and the ways we have been socialized to suppress our pain and discomfort in order to be productive.
