HIT THE GROUND workshops are rooted in Afro-Diasporic spiritual principles of Oneness and Upliftment. To nurture ourselves as the foundations for a more connected, free and decolonised world.
Embodying social justice techniques through applied creative frameworks.
The Low Down:
- Workshops will be an inclusive, anti-oppressive, safe-space. For collective growth to happen, we must create mutual recognition across lines of race, sexuality, religion, disability, class and other socially constructed identifiers, categories and communities.
- All levels of skill/ experience are encouraged and welcome (over 18’s only)
- Wear comfortable clothes and bring good vibes!
