In the five-session series in May (Fridays, May 2, 9, 16, 23, 30), , .bregengaard, , , Jorge Salazar, , and , will share practices toward pluriversal practice from our model, CourageRISE, and offer real-world examples of the ways in which one-worlding is showing up in our movements.
One-worlding is not just an abstract idea—it points to a subtle, pervasive, and persistent habit that seeps into our bodies, beliefs, relationships, and our cultural practices. And yet, there are what Deleuze and Guatari called lines of flight—small fractures, glimpses of something different, something emergent and possible, that offer a way through. We might catch glimpses of these lines of flight when we encounter one another in our mutuality, divinity, and power; when we feel the softening of the grip of a reified sense of who we are or what we think; when we are met with grace, forgiveness, understanding, curiosity; and when we experience even momentary joy, aliveness, “okayness.” The question for us then becomes how do we not just find the cracks, or the lines of flight, but also: how do we practice our way out of these patterns of one-worlding?
The Arrow Journal and Courage of Care recently released a special issue entitlted, The Power of the Pluriverse. Read the first essay via our substack.
This five-week seminar series will build off of the ideas in this special issue, and include embodied reflection and group discussion and practice. We will also take a flipped classroom approach to this seminar, by which we mean we will provide short talks and digestible materials via our online teaching portal for participants to view on their own time. Our seminar time will function as a learning lab, with guided practices, reflection, and time for workshopping issues emerging in our organizations and movements.
