Workshop Description:
This workshop will be an exploration of how the world lives in the body as we are also bodies in the world gathering to open possibilities for healing, transformative becoming, collective care, and abolitionist worldmaking. The event will be held on Tuesday afternoon, 12:30-3PM, May 7, 2024.
This is a free event for students and community members who are already involved or interested in learning more about the Project SURVIVE community at CCSF, but capacity is limited. Participants share a healthy community meal prepared by a beloved local taqueria. Pre-registration is required.
