DAY ONE: YOU
We cannot effectively love our neighbors if we do not love ourselves. Particularly in these overwhelming days, caring for your body and spirit is essential. Rest and revival are the foundation on which we build a movement. Engage in yoga, CircleSinging, or meditate during our sound bath session to deepen connections with yourself and others. Plenaries explore rest, pleasure, playfulness, and healing in justice movements, complemented by healing workshops led by local practitioners.
DAY TWO: MOVE
As fascism rises, there are so many crucial issues. Often, we feel pulled in a thousand directions: Antiracism, voting rights, labor rights, reproductive freedom, gun violence, climate catastrophe, queer liberation, welcoming migrants, affordable housing, and more demand our attention. Sitting with all of that can feel paralyzing—particularly in an election year! However, action is paramount. Our plenaries will illuminate the interconnectedness of these justice struggles, while workshops led by subject-matter experts allow for a deeper exploration of specific causes. Lunch-and-learn sessions will provide an intimate connection with grassroots organization leaders, fostering Q&A for processing, connecting, and engaging. Experience the Freedom Rising Art Exhibit at Brooklyn Art Haus in the evening, showcasing artwork by incarcerated artists. Leave equipped with enhanced policy knowledge and organizing skills, inspired to enact change in your communities.
DAY THREE: THE WORLD
It's not enough to condemn unjust systems, we must live into different ways of being. Every change begins with people who dare to envision something different. On our final day, we will model what it feels like to build communities that welcome everyone, exactly as we are. How can we curate belonging? How can we help people know their belovedness in their bones? Our plenaries will feature leaders who are birthing a better world. They will help us dream wildly about a public love ethic that calls us all into recognizing our inextricable connection. We'll leave inspired to build a more perfect union for generations to come.
