A Conversation: Reparations as Community Wealth Building
The extraction and brutal exploitation of black and indigenous people was a feat of social engineering, a project that took centuries to unfold and centuries to dismantle. As these systems of radicalized oppression are drawing to an end, we have the opportunity to reengineer long- term, sustainable processes of repair, while transferring wealth and power in ways that not only regenerate individuals but our larger ecological community as well. This event will gather repairationists and community wealth builders from Denver to share the innovative models that are ushering in the era of great healing and restoration. This conversation is led by Asia Dorsey.
This workshop brings us into the nexus of healing justice and reparations using yoga as an articulation of liberation theology. Drawing from the archival research of Tricia Hershey of the Nap Ministry and the practice of Yoga Nidra from the lineage of Yogi Amrit Desai, participants will learn how to deconstruct dominant narratives about labor while experiencing the bliss that emerges for free from their own bodies in an engaging and moving lecture.
