Lateral Kindness as a Way to Heal from Internalized Colonization

CANCELLED - We were very much looking forward to this topic, we will update our events page if this will be offered in the future.

Seeing How We Hurt Each Other & Learning to Stop: Lateral Kindness as a Way to Heal from Internalized Colonization. This circle will be led by Aaluk Edwardson as a Creative Decolonization workshop. We’ll explore science-backed ways to use things you always have with you – like your breath, your ability to reframe and reimagine, and ways to communicate that de-escalate.
