Vancouver-based, Necessary Trouble Collective & Oakland-based, East Point Peace Academy present: EXPLORING BELONGING

The history of nonviolence is deeply rooted in communities of color, yet it is a lineage that has been co-opted, leaving many people who identify as Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) and who work in nonviolence feeling isolated and alone. 

As we create this weekly community of practice, we want to actively address this reality and create welcoming spaces for BIPOC people, where we receive practical care for the ways that we might experience discomfort when collaborating in movement spaces. This is a place to acknowledge erasure, name what we need in order to feel belonging, and cultivate ways of being that allow us to show up more fully while navigating the opportunities and challenges of collaboration to address issues in the world. 

In this online workshop for self identified BIPOC, we will explore belonging through activities and inquiries that invite vulnerability and authenticity. This workshop is meant to be interactive, where we share and learn from the wisdom of everyone in the room through small and large group sharing sessions. We hope you will join us!
