Where: Community Room at Ford Warren Library – 2825 High St, Denver, CO, 80205 (Limited Seating) & Virtually over Zoom

Description: We will examine what Denver once was and what ashes are in the fire. We will use poetry writing techniques that focus on finding beauty in what remains. Followed by an optional reading of participants work. 

Facilitator/Featured Poet: Asia Dorsey writes Afrofutures into existence by reweaving Black bodies into the fabric of  the earth. Ear to the soil, she heeds the instruction of mineral, microbial, and botanical beings using her gift of pattern recognition as a bioregional and  very petty herbalist  @bonesbugsandbotany. Asia institutionalizes the pattern language of our planet as permaculture educator with the   Regenerative Education Collective of Denver    and a developer of vibrant organizations that perpetuate cultures of reciprocity as an organizational ecologist with  Regenerate Change .  Like the mending of bodies, Asia heals historical relationships of injustice as a reparationist with  www.reparations4slavery.com  and a board member of the  Center for Community Wealth Building . Asia’s unique approach to facilitation, conflict resolution and developing vibrant organizational cultures bridges deficiencies in imagination with practical, ancestral tools for acculturating social equity and radical self discovery through collective creativity and play. Listen to her latest cultural production  Healing Black Futures .  Ground your body into beloved being with her BIPOC owned and operated Yoga Cooperative Satya Yoga . Join in and support her creations on  Patreon  and be in inquiry with Asia and her team at  www.regeneratechange.com
