SUMMARY:Songs That Raised Us ; Face (Part 1/2)
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a dual community music exchange and micro language lab rooted in heritage study! This is a two-part series on May 14th and 28th.\n\n\nSongs That Raised Us ; Face (Part 1/2)  \nDrawing on native vernacular + formative music memory\, we will peel off the distortion of saving Orientalized ‘face’\, hear a case of moving national tradition toward modernity\, and relink the diasporic time capsule to a family of language that brings vibrancy to soundbites of cultural difference. \nThis dual community music exchange and micro language lab may be of particular interest for heritage learners while all skill levels and heritage-curious are welcome! \nMeet Our Instructor; Laura Ng \nAn interdisciplinary culture worker-sense maker and aspiring Canto diaspora\, Laura Ng uses design inquiry and provocation to facilitate collective discovery. \nTheir Heritage Restoration practice reclaims assimilated genealogy in American/transnational movements toward a new relating—of opt-in—contributing research + editorials in Arts for America\, CCA Design Is\, and Getty Pacific Standard Time. \nHer present interests involve the worldviews embodied in language and somatic currents of social signaling\, principled on reconnection to cultural transmission as it is lived. \nThis is a virtual event\, Zoom information will be emailed closer to the date of the event! This event will be two parts\, with the second being on May 28th.

DESCRIPTION:Join us to watch a recording of a conversation between Jungwon Kim and Linda Thai on the impact of war on generational grief!\n\n\nWar’s Long Shadow Watch Party and Community Conversation \nJoin us to watch a recording of a conversation between Jungwon Kim and Linda Thai on the impact of war on generational grief followed by a guided community conversation! \nTogether\, we’ll watch the beautiful conversation between Linda Thai and Jungwon Kim where they explore psychological\, spiritual\, and communal reverberations of historical violence\, framed within the context of U.S. wars in Korea and Vietnam\, yet deeply relevant to other conflicts\, past and present. Their conversation touches on themes of intergenerational war trauma and grief as well as how we can use communal ritual practices towards collective healing. This conversation was hosted and recorded by Science and Nonduality on March 12. \nThe recording will be followed by a guided community conversation and connection practice. \nMeet the Instructor: \nAngela is a Visionary Organizing and Kingian Nonviolence facilitator-trainer working towards a world where we have increased capacities to sit with our own and each other’s complexities. Angela stewards community containers where participants can share grief\, practice conflict skills\, and be co-opted into emergence inspired by the erotic\, the intuitive\, the divine\, and the more-than-human.

SUMMARY:An Open Space for the Children of Asian Fathers
DESCRIPTION:Why Are You The Way That You Are? An Open Space for the Children of Asian Fathers \nHave you ever gotten into a tiff with your Asian father and thought\, much like Michael Scott once did: why are you the way that you are? Do you feel like you’ve spent decades of your life trying to make sense of the unique psychology of your Asian father to little avail? Do you just need an open\, honest\, and affirming space to reflect on the nature of Asian fathers and fatherhood from the perspective of their Asian offspring? Then this session is for you. \nJoin Nairuti\, fellow child of an Asian father\, for an hour of: \n\nprocessing our unique relationship to our Asian fathers;\nfinding solace in community for said relationships’ joys and challenges; and\nideally\, co-visioning a world in which Asian fatherhood can be something more poignant than a bowl of cut fruit.\n\nInstructor Bio: \nBorn and raised in Ahmedabad\, Gujarat\, Nairuti is a proud descendent of care workers and revolutionaries who fought for Indian independence in the early-mid 20th century. It is this very spirit that informs her work as a researcher\, educator\, and practical radical. Prior to joining the Center for Economic Democracy as the organization’s inaugural Director of Policy & Research\, Nairuti spent eight years as a movement operative supporting anchor institutions to realize their potential\, driving national narrative change campaigns\, organizing resource-holders (and holding them to account)\, accelerating community wealth building activity\, and more. Ultimately\, Nairuti dreams of a world where community is at the heart of our political\, economic\, and social systems.

SUMMARY:Strategy of the Civil Rights Movement
DESCRIPTION:A look behind how the philosophy and strategy of the Civil Rights Movements developed. If it freed us then\, maybe it can free us now.\n\n\nStrategy of the Civil Rights Movement (with George Dou) \n“We must accept finite disappointment\, but never lose infinite hope.” \n-Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. \nHow can the past help us respond to our present moment? This session will give participants a look behind how the philosophy and strategy of the Civil Rights Movements developed. If it freed us then\, maybe it can free us now. \nAbout Kingian Nonviolence (KNV): \nKNV is the philosophy and strategy that Dr. King utilized in organizing the Civil Rights movements. Since his passing\, many of his close friends and allies took to teaching and passing down his teaching. \nAbout Nonviolent Communication (NVC): \nNVC is a language and tool developed by the late Dr. Marshall Rosenberg to answer the question: “why do people hurt each other”? It’s a communication framework that can help us resolve conflicts in a positive way. \nDuring the workshop\, we will explore how Dr. King and other Civil Rights organizers organized and solved problems\, and how we might apply some of their philosophies to today. \nMeet the Instructor: George Dou \nGeorge (He/Him) is an educator and conflict resolution trainer\, and a double-alumnus of North Carolina State University\, where he received a Bachelor of Arts in Communication and Masters of Education. He received certification in Kingian Nonviolence training from the University of Rhode Island. \nHis current work revolves around supporting college students of underrepresented and historically marginalized backgrounds.

SUMMARY:A Holistic Understanding of Our Nervous Systems Under Systemic Oppression
DESCRIPTION:**Rescheduled workshop**\n\n\n A Holistic Understanding of Our Nervous Systems Under Systemic Oppression \nIf we are awake to the world around us\, it’s clear that the conditions we live under are intense. With interlocking systems of oppression bearing down on us from multiple sides\, it’s impossible not to feel the effects on our bodies. How do we remain in the struggle for collective liberation without burning out? \nThis workshop is for anyone who wants to gain a deeper and more holistic understanding of the relationships between their own nervous system\, the collective nervous system\, and the systems of oppression we live in. \nThere will be a short presentation followed by guided reflection and collective resourcing. All donations for this workshop will go to Middle East Children’s Alliance @mecaforpeace \n \nOur instructor\, Melissa Anran Fan (she/they) is an expressive arts and somatics practitioner\, community organizer\, writer\, and cultural worker living in service of collective liberation.
