‘Embodying’ weeks
weeks 6 & 7
During this year’s program, we adapted the seven-week schedule to include 1:1 mentoring sessions, open discussions, and time and space for personal practice and integration, allowing all information and input to settle, transform, and reveal itself in unique ways for each participant.
Every Thursday will be dedicated to reflection, research, and questioning through personal practice time and horizontal open discussions with the groups and facilitators. This time is not only a pause for individual and collective processing but also an active practice of agency and collective care, where each participant is invited to take responsibility for their own learning and shape their own practice while supporting and being supported by the group.
All of this will organically lead to the last two weeks of the program, when participants will share the space and their time in a horizontally shared-facilitation format, allowing them to digest and integrate all the given input. This could take the form of a creation, a class or workshop, a lecture, a poem, a sharing, notes, or simply allowing things to be digested and embodied—emerging at their own pace—while reflecting, experimenting, or just existing with the group.
