Registration for the Design Justice Network Care Pod’s shareback is now open!
Since our gathering in May, rooting us in our collective lineages of care, our DJN Care Pod has been synthesizing all of the shared longings and wisdom that emerged from the following prompts:
My body wants to experience practices and topics like…
I imagine these experiences shifting and transforming…
I want to feel…
We are excited to have you back for our shareback session where we will gather around insights, peer into our journey of themed offerings as a new communal space, and practice ways to deepen our intuition and the embodiment of care as practitioners of Design Justice.
During this gathering, we will:
Share our synthesis from the somatic dreaming we did together on May 20 during our first Care Pod gathering.
Practice ways to listen more deeply, within us and around us; developing ways to connect to our intuition with the support of our guest practitioner, Cyrée Jarelle Johnson, of Temperance Queer Tarot. (Participants are invited to bring their own tarot and oracle decks, but not required to fully experience the session.)
Look towards the next 2 years, giving more shape to the journey we will take together through Care Circles, Practice Spaces and emergent offerings.
The gathering will include the following access supports:
ASL interpretation
Auto-captioning via Zoom
Recording, with options for asynchronous participation
Visual descriptions by speakers
Emotional Support people available during the gathering
Tech support
Scheduled break throughout the two hours
Show up as you are: feel free to take additional breaks, have camera on or off, move around your space, etc.
These experiences are virtual, free and open to people practicing (or curious about) Design Justice and Design Justice Principles. DJN Membership and previous attendance are not required. Each gathering offered is grounded in our network's commitment to dreaming and designing liberatory cultures of care, and co-organized by Denise Shanté Brown (Care Pod Lead), Corina Fadel (Care Pod Collaborator), and Jody Chan (Care Pod Collaborator).
