Yoga and Antiracism Movement - Imagining Possibility

We’re looking forward to exploring with you the idea and practice of imagining possibility! Whose imaginations dreamt the systems we live with today? Whose imaginations influence you? What is the importance of imagination to antiracist movement historically and now? What are yoga practices that cultivate our capacity to dream bigger? What is the connection between individual and collective imagination? Together we'll delve into a dreamy space of possibility with discussion and practice!

Engage with compelling ideas around this theme with a panel of organizers and healers, moderated by restorative justice advocate and yoga leader DuShaun Branch Pollard! Panelists include TRACC for Movements founder Teresa Mateus, and Chicago BLM co-founder Aislinn Pulley who is also co-executive director of Chicago Torture Justice Center.

Dive deeper and make new connections in the break out sessions!

Get Dreamy with an exploratory yoga nidra practice from Yoli Maya Yeh.

Connect with culturally relevant yoga resources for continued support, and/or plug in to antiracism movement work if you haven’t already.

This event is free for antiracism activists, organizers, and yoga teachers. Donations accepted. Register in advance to attend.
