As leaders in the arts, we must be adequately prepared to hold space for a multitude of perspectives, lived experiences, and difficult emotions in our collective spaces. There’s an urgent need to develop an ethic of anti-oppression and trauma-informed practice so that we can address the violence that shapes and influences our institutions.
Following our successful 2-day online seminar from 2021, this one-of-a-kind, in-person lecture facilitated by Diversity and Well-being consultant and Registered Psychotherapist Ronnie Ali (they/them), with venue partner Theatre Passe Muraille, will help you explore the philosophy and practice of anti-oppression and trauma-informed practice.
Learn how to take diversity and well-being initiatives beyond ‘listening and learning’ and toward an embodied, ethical process.
This event is perfect for anyone working in or leading collaborative spaces such as arts workers, creatives, facilitators, influencers, leaders, managers, administrators, community organizers, and team members.
“Head, Heart, Gut is an ecological framework for how to listen deeply to our bodies, each other and communities. It integrates different theoretical perspectives, and is informed by my own experiences as a trans person of colour, immigrant-settler, psychotherapist, and consultant for the arts. I’m going to share critical frameworks and practices that help take your leadership to the next level.”
