BRING A MASK IF YOU ATTEND AT POWDERHORN; PRACTICE SOCIAL DISTANCING
Presented by Don't You Feel It Too? and Clouds in Water Zen Center
with Zenzele Isoke
and co-hosts Marcus Young, Carol Iwata, and others
This gathering for BIPOC only will support your rest, recovery, and connection. It will help you down from a long week and ease you into the night. Inspired by the works of Pleasure Activist adrienne maree brown, and UK based yogic healer and writer Caroline Shola Arewa, our experience will integrate deep, responsive listening, guided sitting meditation, soul vocalization exercises, and body-positive luscious movement. Together, sound, movement, and pleasure are important resources for embodied mindfulness grounded in Afrofeminist and people of color spiritual methodologies.
There are two options to attend: (1) online via Facebook Live and Zoom, (2) or a combination in person at Powderhorn Park and online.
Zenzele Isoke is a writer, ethnographer, teacher, and poet. She gathers the stories and life histories of activism and arts-centered social change by African-descended women across class, culture and geographic boundaries. She practices and teaches meditation to cultivate joy, resilience, and peaceful interconnectedness between all people who live, work, survive and die together on this complex planet called home.
THIS IS A BIPOC-ONLY EVENT.
6:00-7:30pm: introductions, short sitting meditation, luscious movement, and Don't You Feel It Too? movement meditation (DYFIT)
