Special Events
Gravity and Grace: a workshop with Debra Wanner, November 9, 3-5pm, $40
Shining a light on our relationship with the ground creates ease and elegance in our movement. As we age, many of us begin to shrink not only in our range of motion but also in our perception of ourselves and our movement potential. In this workshop we will slow down and illuminate the details where sensory learning unfolds encouraging more spring in our step and more movement capacity. In this 2 hour workshop we will explore lessons that utilize lying, sitting, standing, hands-on learning, and small group sharing.
Could Conflict be Loving?: a workshop with Char Kasza, December 6, 2-5PM, $40
Loving Conflict is a trauma and nervous-system informed skill building workshop for transforming relationships, practicing skillful communication, strengthening collective nervous systems, and building trust. The work offers tools for relational care and transformation in the abolitionist lineage of Transformative Justice. Spend 3 hours learning the foundational skills & models of Loving Conflict in a small group setting focused on practice that we can immediately integrate into our current relationships.
We will work with our own experiences, examples, and scenarios to organize transformative possibilities through moments of tension. Throughout the afternoon we will:
try out tools for co-creating understanding
discuss shared language for types of conflict responses
practice making requests vs setting boundaries
experience the sensations of giving and receiving apologies.
In addition to our practice, we'll share food and time to connect. This is a highly interactive workshop that invites participants to be in collaborative practice. No prior experience or training required, all folks welcome.
