About this Event
about the gathering:
have you been dreaming lately? dreams in motion is an invitation for women and gender diverse people of colour to come together to get their visions onto paper. in this 90 minute vision boarding and journaling workshop, we’ll learn how to manifest with mindful intention through creative vision boarding and a deep journaling practice.
about the series:
‘shared being’ is an invitation for women and gender diverse folks of colour to get together and enjoy what it means to be interconnected. although we live with individual experiences, histories and bodies, as a community, our intentions, actions and lives are deeply intertwined. as we work to strengthen ourselves, we in turn, strengthen the community.
the series is rooted in the concepts of co-regulation and co-creation, two tenets of healing justice, a care framework designed by and for supporting black, indigenous, and people of color/queer and trans and/or disabled folks. ‘shared being’ focuses on education, dreaming and ideation, somatic healing, artistic expression and explorations. overall, our plan is to explore the positive impacts of natural elements, co-regulation through community and leaning on each other’s wisdom for support.
