12:30-2pm
Reimagining Solidarity with Transformative Solidarity
A 90-min facilitated discussion space for learning different ways to create systemic change. During these times, many of us wonder how to build stronger solidarity with wider communities, and with those around us with different positionalities.
The Transformative Solidarity process works with you-- like, the literal uniqueness of you. Without you, without us, this process is just a bunch of pretty ideas. But together we can push for deep change.
Transformative Solidarity asks us to show up differently, challenging the status quo of our lives and movements. It only works as far as you're willing to engage. And it is designed to meet us where we are and encourage and push us in the ways we choose. It is a framework to hold us as we move toward who we want to be, striving for a just and sustainable world that honours its magic and brilliance.
- Transformative Solidarity is witnessing injustice and responding to it, in any situation -
(if there are at least three participants, we can play a specially designed card game!)

❤️ tactile attention: 1 on 1 massage + craniosacral session
come receive 30-45 min of hands on care through the modalities of massage and/or craniosacral, on a massage table or in a chair, to support anything from inflammation, acute and chronic pain, post-op healing, nervous system regulation, to a general desire to reconnect with one’s own body. massage involves a tactile conversation with the tissues, fascia and joints of the body, inviting more flow of fluids, softening facial congestion, and finding more ease in joint mobility. the craniosacral practice is a non-invasive form of touch that listens to and encourages the inherent rhythms and respirations of our fluids, bones, and tissues, with the practitioner acting as more of a holding environment for the receiver's body to take the wheel of "healing".

Libraries in Gaza: Exploring What These Spaces Mean
This workshop, facilitated by Shahd Alnaami, reflects on libraries not only as places filled with books, but as spaces of knowledge, memory, imagination, and community. Through stories, discussion, and reflective writing, participants will explore what libraries have meant to people in Gaza as places of learning, refuge, connection, and hope.
The workshop is also connected to the destruction of Gaza’s libraries and the painful loss of cultural and intellectual heritage. At the same time, it reflects on how these spaces continued to remain a light for many people, even during times of devastation and displacement.
The session includes gentle writing exercises and invites participants to think about their own relationship with books, memory, and the spaces that shape who we are.
No previous writing experience is needed, and sharing is always optional.

Elena offers a non-judgmental, supportive space to reflect and explore together using a playful systemic approach. This work opens up new ways of creating nourishing connections- whether you come alone, with a partner, or with a friend.

❤️ tactile attention: 1 on 1 massage + craniosacral session
come receive 30-45 min of hands on care through the modalities of massage and/or craniosacral, on a massage table or in a chair, to support anything from inflammation, acute and chronic pain, post-op healing, nervous system regulation, to a general desire to reconnect with one’s own body. massage involves a tactile conversation with the tissues, fascia and joints of the body, inviting more flow of fluids, softening facial congestion, and finding more ease in joint mobility. the craniosacral practice is a non-invasive form of touch that listens to and encourages the inherent rhythms and respirations of our fluids, bones, and tissues, with the practitioner acting as more of a holding environment for the receiver's body to take the wheel of "healing".

Reimagining Solidarity with Transformative Solidarity
A 90-min facilitated discussion space for learning different ways to create systemic change. During these times, many of us wonder how to build stronger solidarity with wider communities, and with those around us with different positionalities.
The Transformative Solidarity process works with you-- like, the literal uniqueness of you. Without you, without us, this process is just a bunch of pretty ideas. But together we can push for deep change.
Transformative Solidarity asks us to show up differently, challenging the status quo of our lives and movements. It only works as far as you're willing to engage. And it is designed to meet us where we are and encourage and push us in the ways we choose. It is a framework to hold us as we move toward who we want to be, striving for a just and sustainable world that honours its magic and brilliance.
- Transformative Solidarity is witnessing injustice and responding to it, in any situation -
(if there are at least three participants, we can play a specially designed card game!)
