A Dream Returned: Exploring Dreamwork as an Ancestral, Wellness and Liberation Practice with Kelsey O. Daniels
Thursday l April 11 l 4 – 5:30 PM
Women's Center
RSVP here: https://forms.gle/dSi3gpjVJVVuyEFx9
So often society attempts to convince us that exploring our dreams is only acceptable once you have "earned" leisure after labor. When surviving systems of oppression is framed as a privilege, dreaming is viewed as frivolous and more often than not inaccessible. That ain't it. Dreaming is revolutionary, ancestral, and necessary when it comes to building new worlds that are affirming and lit for all of us. It is a deliberate act of self and community care that subverts white failurism and all of its unlegendary children (anti-Blackness, queer/trans antagonism, ableism, etc.) This workshop offers a space to unpack the myths handed to us about dreaming, explore what dreamwork already looks like in our lives, and strategize on how to intentionally engage with dreaming as an ancestral, wellness and liberation practice.
This interactive and collaborative workshop will utilize artistic expression, generative discussion, and guided journaling as we collectively return to the dream space!
