Hosted By: Amplify Justice Workshop: Radical Love, Joy, and Healing In this dynamic workshop, we will explore the themes of radical love, joy, and healing through music, creative writing, sound memory and movement. The workshop begins with a nostalgic journey into our childhoods, reflecting on the moments that brought us joy, love and happiness. We will discuss the people in our lives and invite you to identify at least one person you wish to encourage to care for themselves, embracing love, joy and fun. By the end of this workshop, you can expect to feel a renewed sense of determination surrounding radical love, joy and playfulness. Here are a few activities you can look forward to: Decorative Journals: Each participant will receive a small journal to decorate. Poetry Writing: We will write a short poem together. Movement and Reflection: Movement will be integrated into our activities, along with reflection and creative writing. We will kick off the morning with some invigorating movement. Stand up, shake out your hands, arms, legs and hips for 60 seconds. Please note: By the end of this workshop, you may experience a range of emotions. If it feels overwhelming, feel free to step out for a moment. Then, we’ll pair up for a brief discussion. With your partner, name three of your favorite toys, three favorite games and at least one hand-clapping or circle game you enjoyed. Also, share three of your favorite foods or candies. You’ll have two minutes to discuss this with your partner, followed by four minutes to share your findings with the group. If you discover you have no commonalities, let’s explore why that might be. Afterward, we’ll shake it out again and take some deep breaths. We’ll use our imaginations to remember our favorite songs from our childhood—whether it’s Marvin Gaye or the Powerpuff Girls theme song. As we fight for the well-being of children, let’s remember to nurture ourselves as well.
