The Thinking Us: Winter Retreat Design will bring GRIST’s academic community together to pause and reflect on antiracist work and research.
On February 6-8, at Downing College, GRIST will host the Thinking US: Winter Retreat Design for its community of academics, activists, and change-makers.
The Winter Retreat is a space for experimentation where GRIST’s community will learn to pause, experience stillness and all the insights that come with it, and reflect on the challenges of collaborative work.
For two and a half days, facilitators in somatic abolitionism (Uma Mishra), movement principles for pausing, relating and collaborating (Bim Malcomson) and the emotional dimension of oppressions and community building (Mai Mai Lam and Mónica Moreno Figueroa) will create a unique space for finding new solutions and ways of imagining the world without racism and oppressions.
The retreat is a closed event and held as a trial for an experimental format. The format will be integrated into a wider Actionable Learning & Collaboration Residency programme in the future.
