In this workshop hosted by Elia from @selflovetribute we will explore what care, community and belonging mean to us. You will be lead into a hypno-poetic trance during which we will connect somatically to our needs around belonging, care and community. This hypno-poetic trance was created as a portal through which people who experience disconnection from their body, others and/or their environment so that they can step into a healing, imaginative space unburdened by the outside world's many violences, to reimagine, together, what true belonging, radical care and soft space holding in community can look like, smell like, sound like, feel like.

Imagination and fantasy work is absolutely paramount to liberation. Deep down we know that the liberation we are fighting for - the personal and collective - has its spark in our hearts, spirits and souls first and foremost. By imagining new, alternative realities, we get to make them real, slowly but surely, through an iterative and imaginative process.

Drawing from ancestral knowledge, their practice is rooted in weaving ancient and modern practices into tangible healing tools that are in support of ancestral healing, radical self-love and collective liberation & seek to re-enact or recreate rituals.
