Dear Friends!
What will it take to transform conflict, to ensure our movement building and changemaking is fueled by fierce love over fear? How can we resource ourselves and each other with transformative, life-giving power?
This three part workshop series is an opportunity for feminist changemakers to explore how to root, rise, and pollinate the new ways of being necessary to wage peace, transform conflict, and strategically bring to life our visions for a transformed world.
The three sessions are part of the whole, and are intended build on each other.
SESSION 2: RISE
We continue our series with practices that help us generate life-giving power in ourselves and in the community. This session will pay special attention to harnessing the generative energy of sun and water through embodied practice. In our storytelling practice we will generate stories of the future and world view that we are saying yes to.
SESSION 3: POLLINATE
In our final session together we will explore the new ways of being and strategizing that bring visions of a transformed world to life. We will pay special attention to air and breath as a key vehicle for pollination. Through embodied practice and storytelling we will continue to uncover and nourish the ways of being to be pollinators of our visions.
These sessions will create a welcoming and grounding embodied practice space to help changemakers root in and remember our personal and collective purpose, identify habits to interrupt, and sustain generative power.
They build on the kitchen-table chat and embodied practice session we held earlier in 2021 with feminist changemakers from around the globe, Waging Peace with Fierce Love.
Recordings of the sessions will be available
