Exploring contact through identities. With Yulia Bondar, Ieva Barsauskaite, Mili Marjanovic and Rinske Englander

In this experiential workshop we aim to practice making contact through differences, not by bypassing them and pretending they do not exist, or by simplifying them and thus objectifying each other, but by creating space and support for them to emerge.

This experiential workshop is an invitation to practice making and holding contact through differences, not by bypassing them and pretending they do not exist, or by simplifying them and thus objectifying each other, but by creating space and support for them to emerge, with awareness, together.

We will experiment with building capacity to co-create ground so that you can make safe enough choices when approaching these questions:

• How does the field influence my own identity?

• How can we keep being open to contact with each other despite holding seemingly opposing stances?

• What emerges when we are brave to hear each other?
