Root Down: A Resource Mapping Workshop

The objective of this workshop is for the individual to channel their grief about the current geopolitical and social climate as a tool for broadening their impact. We will be learning how to resource map our own communities based on each of our own areas of passion: immigration issues, harm reduction, support for the unhoused, queer rights, or countless other areas of activism and mutual aid. Within the studio, we will be building community as we work alongside one another to utilize our individual and collective skills for the world at large. $20 per person, no one turned away for lack of funds.

What to expect:

•a three hour container to transmute “community” from a concept to an action

•nervous system support tea blend + light refreshments

•guided breathwork and grounding reflection

•a collaborative lesson in resource mapping

•creation time to design your own resource map (materials provided)
