The Compassionate Movement Workshop is an opportunity to subvert colonial x capitalist powers by repositioning agency within our body’s innate ability to hold breath, compassion and reciprocity. The workshop acts as a site for critical praxis, producing moments of embodied thinking that are aligned with Indigenous frameworks and technology.

In this workshop we will work through ancient Vedic breathwork techniques, somatic movement exercises, dialogue and choreography. These processes hope to inspire more caring ways of building networks with humans and non-humans alike.

Capacity is limited to 20 participants; registration is required. Register now ➞
