Join us for a creative workshop which will kick off with a meditation and a sound activation with a sound bowl and our voices followed by a shared collective art-making process which includes collaging and painting.

Description: As beings living in queer and racialised bodies, we are often subjected to navigating violent structures that keep us in a constant state of anxiety and disconnection. In resistance to this, our pleasure becomes a generative and creative force that shifts us into an embodied way of living. Pleasure is a foundation to understanding ourselves and each other, precisely because of its capacity to heal and transform.

This workshop reflects on the concept of interoception which is our ability to sense and interpret internal sensations such as the heartbeat, breath, hunger, tension and calm. When we feel safe enough to tune into the depths of ourselves, there is space to rediscover our intuitive knowing.

Pleasure sensing through interoception then becomes a tool for reclaiming presence and autonomy. Through meditation, sound activation, and collaborative art-making, we explore the question: “What is stirring in the stillness of you…?”

Our time together offers a gentle and powerful return to our inherent sense of aliveness.

Info: All the materials required for the workshop will be available on-site.

modú (no pronouns) is a birth companion, care practitioner and sound archivist whose work is a fluid invocation of the Ancestors. Rooted in the Yoruba concept of Asé, the vital force flowing through all things, modú’s ritual-based practices weave dream recollection and sound frequencies as methods of re-memory and transmutation.
