A workshop focused on and intended for (QT)BIPoC community members. The incentive of Narratives of Transformative Love is to use art and writing to address past traumas, negative criticism, and societal expectations in order to heal and transform our identity to reflect our own strengths and develop authentic radical self-love. This workshop is focused around dismantling systemic oppression and empowering (QT)BIPoC community members and allies. Participants will utilize a series of exercises with art, writing, decolonized yogic practices, civic advocacy as catalyst for individual and community healing.
