The Power of Self-Care for BIPOC Folx
This weekend there is an opportunity for Self-Care for BIPOC folx. I feel this falls into an intentional uptrend in the last year for us to have space curated for us and by us. As a Black woman my mind is constantly in different places for others, for processes, and rarely for myself. The Power of Self Care, presented by Different Women and led by Ariane Barnes is happening Friday, April 30, and Saturday, May 1, 9am-1:30 pm/2-7 pm BST.
What I look forward to as a participant
As a participant, I am looking forward to taking time for myself. I welcome the deep dive over a two-day period that can afford me space to explore, heal, and gather in the community. I look forward to learning how to better cope with the many feelings and emotions that have constantly appear and often turn into stress. I am excited for a different way to engage myself through embodiment and how to shift from pain to joy.
What I will offer as a practitioner
During Day 2 I will offer a bonus webinar on identity and oppression. I will explain the 4 I’s of Oppression and focus on internalized oppression and how this impacts us, especially as BIPOC folx. Lastly, I’ll leave you with strategies to respond, interrupt and address our internalized oppression.
What You Can Expect
A temporary community of BIPOC only, creative practitioners, performers & teachers of all genders. LGBTQ BIPOC creative practitioners, performers, and teachers welcome.
Day 1. The Self
Our first day will ask us to look inside at what is helpful to us VS what no longer serves in our process so we are working from what we know and love, whilst acknowledging what needs are no longer be part of our journey.
Day 2. The Self & The World
Our second day will invite us to look at our relationship with the outside world, how it affects us on a daily basis and what parts of ourselves we must nurture and heal in order to show up for our own community.
+ Bonus webinar training with Mary C. Parker on 'Dismantling Inner Bias and Invisibility for BIPOC practitioners.'
