Trainings and Professional Events
Reigniting Imagination, Creativity, and Joy as Liberatory Trauma Work
This training will explore how we can use exploration and activities of imagination, creativity, pleasure, and joy to heal from trauma. We will address specific considerations for exploration or use of Tabletop Roleplaying, Video Games, Board and Card Games, Art, Nature, Sexuality/Sensuality, and Physical Activities. The training will include both lecture and experiential components and will be taught from a Decolonial and Liberatory stance.
Past Community Events
Black Liberation Playday
Currently seeking funding for the next series of BLPD events.
Black Liberation Playday is a free monthly Black Intergenerational Day of Play on the Southside of Chicago!
Free Vegan Food from The Black Vegan is provided at every event. To increase accessibility and safety for our elders and neighbors with chronic illnesses and disabilities, all events will provide and require N95/KN95 masks and indoor spaces have HEPA filters in addition to masks.
Black Liberation Playday aims to be a space that reconnects Black people of all ages to themselves and their community through games and other forms of play. We will provide access and exposure to a variety of games including TableTop Role Playing Games, Board Games, Card Games, and Play Activities.
We use various forms of games and play to foster imagination, creativity and playfulness because all three are vital parts of building our liberation and sustaining ourselves and communities through healing and liberation journeys.
This Project is part of PATHS Chicago and managed by Cassie of Intersections Center for Complex Healing PLLC and hosted at The #BreathingRoom Space thanks to The Let Us Breathe Collective and will be documented by City Vanguard Productions.
