Beyond Confidence
(AKA Not Another Confidence-Building Workshop!)
Why is our culture fixated on confidence? Is confidence even a virtue worthy of pursuing?
In this workshop, we will unpack confidence and related topics like ‘imposter syndrome.’ from the inside-out.
You’ll learn why confidence is overhyped and why consciousness matters more. We’ll explore what it means to celebrate both our significance and our insignificance, and our relationship to external validation.
What will attendees come away with?
A new framework and way of understanding feelings that are often couched as a “lack of confidence” or “imposter syndrome.”
A sense of uplift and rootedness.
Inspiration and deepened awareness of their gifts.
Ancestral Futures Poetry Lab
Social scientists in Western academia are now “discovering” poetry’s therapeutic properties, both reciting and reading it, as well as writing and sharing it. It is an accessible and affordable artform and healing modality. It travels well and, in reality, needs no instrument at all, aside from a beating heart.
Poetry offers us a place to bear witness to both our inner and outer worlds at the same time, bringing these two realities together in order to help us shape a new reality.
Poems are bridges, fortifying the connection between the internal and external, as well as our connections with each another. Our ancestors from across myriad traditions have used poetry to express the intensity of the human experience, from ecstatic joy to crushing grief and despair.
What to expect:
Together, we engage with poetry as an ancestral tool, a technology, to engage with complex topics and experiences.
Through this Poetry Lab, we celebrate and uplift cultural traditions and expression - rooted in Global Majority communities - through the lens of past, present, and future.
No writing experience is required.
