Sacred Womanist Resistance: A Chronicle in Storytelling, Spoken Word & Movement

Sat 10 AM | Greater Things

Tara LaShawn Seabrook

By reframing the biblical narrative through a womanist lens, this workshop will explore the inextricable link between spirituality and justice as an act of resistance. By incorporating storytelling, spoken word, movement, and other healing modalities participants will be introduced to a framework for seeking shalom in the face of political and socioeconomic forces of oppression. As it disrupts false narratives of oppression, this workshop will examine ways to restore vision, voice, and value to those traumatized at the intersections of race, class, gender, etc. This workshop invites participants to learn from the voices of the marginalized, examine the stories that have defined one’s identity, and discern how to live out of a transformed consciousness as co-creators of shalom in practical and tangible ways.
