Link to event

In the workshop my pause is political we will explore disobedient possibilities of pausing, self-care and care for each other. We pause as self-empowerment. We rest and refocus. We approach our bodies and needs with various sensory exercises. We learn about Care-Networks, Crip-Time and Spoon Theory and share what these practices can mean to us. We create anchoring objects from soothing scents, colors and surfaces and in the process spin tender presents and futures together.

The workshop will be held in German and English spoken language and takes place in two parts: on Thursday, July 25, from 14h to 19h, and on Saturday, July 27, from 14h to 19h at the Queer Center Kassel, wich is located at Mauerstraße 11, 5th floor.
