Beyond Overwhelm relates to embodied learning circles with clear links to social change, aiming to practice together and empower their members to gain agency and take action. This session deliberately addresses the body and practicing together as a collective political practice, accessing the collective wisdom of a group.
In this workshop dedicated to cultural workers, the participants are going to explore how working cultures under capitalism are creating a sense of overwhelm in their nervous systems, and furthermore, how we can cultivate embodied resistance.
The session offers tools for coming out of overwhelm as a foundation for building relational strategies and counteracting individualization; exploring why this is necessary for political agency while refraiming activism.
Through body-based practices, collective inquiry and imagination, this workshop gives space to explore your lived environment and how practices of connection, care and existing otherwise could be brought into it.
