To Move from the Dream Space will invite participants to meditate on their dreaming practice as an antidote to a culture of urgency. Together in this workshop, we'll write to reflection prompts, engage meditation practices, and practice appreciation for the power and bigness of our dreams in the face of a culture that asks us to be too busy for them.
Presenter: Antmen Pimentel Mendoza, Acting Co-Director Multicultural Community Center
In her widely circulated writings, Tema Okun names urgency as one characteristic of white supremacy culture. In this session, we’ll study her writings on urgency, draw connections between urgency and our experiences on campus and living in white supremacy and capitalism, and generate personal inventories of antidotes and hopes against urgency. Please arrive at this session with tools to write with (whether by hand or typewritten).
In this session on rest rituals, we’ll explore what it means to ‘practice’ with giving the body and mind a chance to connect with calm and make space to ‘be with’ ourselves in order to find ease. We’ll practice with in-the-moment techniques to soothe an overactive mind or body experience, explore opportunities for building rest into your daily routines, and discuss techniques to create and sustain an environment that supports restfulness and regeneration in service of holistic well-being.
