This virtual program facilitated by Jasmine Hayden is for creatives, allies, and change-makers who are ready to deeply engage with a highly interactive transformational process to embody a regenerative personal and professional lifestyle and practice. Explorations will include mindfulness as activism, intersectional social justice, physical embodiment as anti-oppression work, and creative liberation. We will be re-imagining our current society through an innovative immersion of modern (virtual) and ancient (bodily wisdom) technology.

Thriving Change-Makers will take place over the course of 7 weekends from May to June on Kumospace, a web-based gathering platform. Each session will be interwoven with a through line of creative expression, personal transformation, and collective healing, with an intersectional activist framework comprising of:

• Anti-Racism

• Class & Community

• Anti-Oppressive Strategy

• Ablism & The Body

• Gender & Sexuality

• Ecofeminism

• Environmental Justice

Each session will include:

• Mindfulness through breath and body connection

• Education, investigation, exploration through conversation, games, and exercises

• Expansive co-creation & play

• Action-orientation activation

What you will get:

• Deeper authenticity and integrity out of your creative, personal, and professional practice

• Knowledge by experts on Anti-Racism, Class-Oppression, Gender & Sexuality, and Environmental Justice, AND how you can live EMPOWERED in your agency

• Drastic increase in social awareness and regenerative living

• Body Awareness and Mindfulness Techniques to apply to your health and well-being

• Creative inspiration and collaboration with a group of powerful change-makers
