Beyond Survival
2025/2026 Projects for Survivors
In November/December of 2025, Moving Rasa partnered with Womankind to provide a 4-part series on Movement-based cooperative Storytelling Card Game called, “Once Upon a Rasa,” with 6-8 survivors of Domestic Violence. In addition to learning how to play the fun card game, participants cultivated self-awareness and agency to set intentions, boundaries, and make new connections with others. During this series, we learned to trust our bodies and movement as sources of wisdom and creativity. No experience is needed - and it works across languages!
We will continue this programming twice a year. For more information about the card game, click here.
Testimony:
“I had a great time learning about my body and connecting it with my mind.”
“Honestly, at first I was in a shell, but I’m really glad I stuck with it!”
-from survivors of DV in partnership with Womankind
In the Spring of 2026, we acquired a city contract through the Department of Mental Health and Hygiene to work with caregivers and community partners in East Harlem, NYC. We will use the Moving Rasa Movement Tarot deck to facilitate 2 four part series of workshops with caregivers to come up with collective solutions for addressing their pain points. These findings will all go into a shared Zine for distribution.
