About this Event

~ Please note: This walkshop series is open to People of Colour only ~


Peaks of Colour's Soma Sessions are monthly spaces that invite global majority commujnities to deepen their connection with themselves, each other and the land.


Set in the Peak District, these informal and intimate sessions will offer an introduction to embodied and nature-allied practices that can assist in our healing from gendered and racialised trauma.


A space of repetition as Black Feminist practice (Foluke Taylor), and rehearsal as an abolitionist priority (Ruth Wilson Gilmore), Soma Sessions will support us to build capacity and resilience for a future in which the boundaries between our human bodies and our more-than-human landscapes are decomposed.


Session #3: Oikos with Exodus Crooks

The word "eco" comes from the Greed word oikos, meaning home. Oikos, facilitated by Exodus Crooks, is a workshop that uses sculpture to collectively reflect on our current structures, possibilities, and needs in relation to our physical environment.

Through the mediums of clay and writing, participants will explore how we coexist, addressing the needs of the past, present and future. This workshop encourages a throughtful yet gentle response to these needs, fostering deep engagement with the ways we inhabit and share our spaces, ultimately aiming to reshape our understanding of home and community.

Date: Sunday 27th April

Time: 10:30am

Meeting location: Flying Horse Lawn, Lodge Lane, Sheffield, S6 5SP
