Please join us on Tuesday, September 5th from 12:00-1:30pm in the WRC Group Room for an “Unstoppable: Art and Play Workshop”--a trauma-informed, stress-relief session designed for BIPOC, AAPI, Latinx, and LGBTQ+ individuals who have survived or experienced adverse or traumatic experiences--facilitated by activist and BSW student Lilian Agar.
In this Coffee and Conversations workshop, "Deprogramming from Grind Culture," we'll be discussing the various ways in which we have internalized grind culture, confronting any doubts or hesitations we may have about engaging in rest as a form of resistance, and creating rest/resistance action plans.
In this praxis session, we'll be practicing rest as a form of resistance by doing an art activity called the Tree of Life, facilitated by EDI's embedded therapist, Nicole Puertas. The Tree of Life activity is an opportunity for personal reflection on our various ancestries, backgrounds, and experiences, and also serves as an act of rest/resistance to grind culture via artistic, creative expression.
