“Tending Our Terrain: Transcending Polarity” is the second part of a three-part, multi-sensory workshop series called “You Are Expansive” that utilizes systems-level thinking, expressive therapies, and the Internal Family Systems model to deliver transformative learning experiences to participants. “Tending Our Terrain” explores the roles art, storytelling, and embodied living play in shaping our communities and imagining equitable futures. With a community-focused art activity and critical dialogue facilitated by two DEI scholar-practitioners, attendees will be offered tools to navigate polarity and conflict, both internally and externally.
Anyone is able to attend but minors must be accompanied by an adult and the facilitators must be informed ahead of time through this RSVP form. It is also important to note that while these workshops are part of a series, they are designed to be accessible to anyone, regardless of age, previous experience or education, or any other social identity. Folx do not need to have attended the first workshop to understand or benefit from the second or third installment. These workshops are also neuro-friendly!
“You Are Expansive” is a three-part pilot series (part art installation // part curriculum development) designed by social worker and artist Kayla Skinner-Roy in partnership with Riverside Art Center’s Expressive Empowerment Program. The programs offered through “You Are Expansive” use a variety of art mediums to explore the interdependence of self- and community-care and serve as a resource for collective liberation and inter-/multi-generational mental health and well-being.
