Move
The Moving Rasa framework is a dynamic approach designed to help individuals and communities reconnect with their bodies, emotions, and lived experiences through movement and awareness. As a practice, Moving Rasa, formerly known as Parcon Resilience, is inspired by movement across obstacles and contact improvisation with inquiry as a bridge to connecting to one’s bodies/consciousness across physical, mental, emotional and spiritual realms.
The concept of Rasa, the Indonesian word for "taste" or "essence," is essential to the framework encouraging participants to explore their inner landscapes and relationships with others, fostering a deeper understanding of personal and collective identity.
Discern
At its core, Moving Rasa emphasizes the liberation from harmful fixed patterns—whether physical, emotional, or social—by guiding people to reconnect with their sense of agency and embodied wisdom. The framework integrates principles of somatics, community organizing, and trauma-informed practices to create a safe and inclusive space where individuals can engage in experiential learning. Through this process, they develop the capacity to co-regulate their nervous systems, navigate relationships, and align with what feels meaningful.
Moving Rasa is especially attentive to serving marginalized communities, offering culturally specific expressions of movement and healing. The framework seeks to address the disassociation many people experience with their bodies due to trauma, oppression, and systemic violence. By fostering vulnerability, cooperation, and play, Moving Rasa creates opportunities for healing, empowerment, and collective growth, helping individuals and communities build strength and new accessible and inclusive ways of being through movement-based practices.
