Manifesting Vision: Practicing the Better World We're Longing For (October 2025)
In this experimental and spirit-led workshop, we explored the practice of collective actualization; of dipping a toe into the crack of something other than business-as-usual. Together, we harvested visions from the world we are so longing for and play with manifesting the essence of these inspired sparks in real time. This immersion session drew from experimental theater-making practices, activist facilitation structures, and theories of change from the edge-walking likes of Bayo Akomalfe and others. During our short but potent time together, participants were invited to embody an alternative story born from vision with the intention to make real the ways of being we thought we could only dream of.
​
Liberation Mass (February 2026)
Liberation Mass was a mystical and contemplative ritual for the better world to come. Inspired by the liturgy of the Catholic Mass, this iteration of “spooky church” subverted the form to activate sacred space in the name of collective liberation.
