BIPOC Integration Circle 🌱Sunday Nov 26th 5:30-7PM

What is BIPOC?

Black, Indigenous, and People of Color - validating the unique relationship that Black (African American/African/Afro descendant diaspora), Indigenous, and People of Color have as racialized people surviving within white supremacy delusion. With an aim to grow stronger together in community, to empower and support each other. Not to define people within a single label, though rather to unite people around the many causes in the work for collective liberation, naming of their truth, and acknowledgment that not all people face the same levels of injustice. This stands as a principled intention of this integration circle.
This circle is a BIPOC only space❤️

About your host Layna Lewis -

Layna collaborates with youth, artists, activists using social practice strategies to create modern myth and archetypes through narrative, performance and ritual. Activating dance, film, theater, mural & sculpture in community. Making art collectively provides opportunities to make meaningful connections as a means to heal ourselves from the oppression we face historically, structurally and systemically. Layna develops and directs collaborative projects that provide access to arts to individuals and communities facing barriers imposed by oppressive systems. Becoming the person they desperately needed as a child and young adult is their core practice. Layna manifests the world they imagine through critical excavation of dominance and oppressive systems to decolonize and transform external and internalized systems using the process of creative expression to process, heal, and release, trauma, and transform our wounds to weild in our liberation. Viva la Free!

Anyone who joins the circle will be asked to hold a container of confidentiality as we collectively create a space for our community to come together, process, learn, and heal.

This is not a space to solicit or distribute substances. Please respect the delicate nature of these spaces and help us protect our ability to gather and honor the ground on which we gather.
