SUMMARY:Artists Gathering: Embodied self-care and wellbeing
DESCRIPTION:Our monthly Artist Gatherings are designed to bring together members of our network to connect\, share their projects\, hear from guest artists\, and network.\n\n\nThis month’s session will be led by Lildonia Lawrence\, with a focus on self-care and wellbeing. \nWould you like some practical tips on how to stay grounded\, compassionate and connected in times of social and political upheaval? Then join us on Friday\, 31 October in the Community Workshop space at Arnolfini from 11am-1pm. \nThrough discussion\, reflection\, and mindful movement\, we’ll consider the embodied impact of rising fascism\, the emotional weight of social media\, and practical ways to protect our energy.

Having worked in the field since 2010\, she specialises in BIPOC wellbeing\, anti-racism\, and equitable healthcare.
