Feet to the Fire: Awakening Your Brilliance

### Feet to the Fire: Awakening Your Brilliance

The personal accountability session

Date: July 18th
Format: In person + livestream

The premise: This one starts with you. Not the system, not the diagnosis, not the institution. You. What are you doing with what you have? What has gone unactivated, unspoken and unseen. This is the permission you've been waiting for.

Feet to the Fire: Awakening Your Brilliance brings together creatives and artists who are openly neurodivergent and actively building their lives around their distinct minds, not despite them. This isn't empty inspiration, it's a real conversation about what it actually takes to stop deferring your own brilliance and start working with the mind you have.

What to expect:
Panel conversation (60 min) A debate between guests. Facilitated by Ebony Bates. Honest, unscripted, and willing to go wherever the room needs to go. Expect debate, disagreement, and moments that make you want to write something down.

Collage making (20 min) Magazines, stickers, scissors, mics, any medium you want, and a prompt drawn from the conversation. You'll make something in response to what came up. No experience required. No wrong answers. Whatever lands on the page is the right thing. (magazines and stickers provided)

Closing ritual (10 min) A collective moment to name one thing you're committing to before you leave the room.

Attend in person if you want to engage in the collage making, the open floor, the closing ritual. The physical act of making something together in response to the conversation. In person is where that lives fully.

Attend virtually if: You prefer minimal stimulation and controlled environments. The panel conversation should translate well to screen. Virtual attendees can collage at home and your closing ritual can be done in the chat.

Bring: Yourself. Optionally a magazine from home that means something to you. We provide: Magazines, stickers, scissors, glue sticks, cardstock, pens.

This will be a hybrid event. check back for confirmed location.
