Schedule
Week 1: The Emotional Continuum
Where there is joy, there might also be anger, sadness, and fear. This session will explore the continuum of emotions necessary for us to heal and get free.
Week 2: Pleasure as a Portal (Closed Session)
Violence, stress, and trauma can rob us of our ability to experience pleasure, this closed session invites survivors to reconnect with themselves through sensual self touch and affirmation.
Week 3: We Believe that We Will Win
Our joy is our resistance. This session will explore how we use Black joy in our resistance struggles and explore collective art making.
Week 4: Rituals and Recipes for Healing
Cooking is a site of joy and ancestral wisdom. In this session we will cook together in order to commune with one another.
