As a community organizer and artist still creating work and holding space for communities, like so many of us are, I am keenly aware of our dwindling opportunities for rest, stillness and renewal even amidst the global pandemic. The collective stress of navigating a break-neck pace while learning new ways of being and of connecting with people creates high levels of cortisol and keeps us from being the best family- and community-members we can be. During this workshop, we are slowing down to invite in restoration with guided breathing and light physical centering practices. The session includes both time with our cameras on to take solace in one another and with our cameras off to relax inward and be guided. Please have a small ball handy (ie. tennis ball or pinky ball). This experience is for people of all shapes, sizes, genders and abilities.
