The Power of the Pluriverse
A workshop series for those who want to learn and practice our way out of patterns of one-worlding.
“One-worlding is not just an abstract idea-it points to a subtle, pervasive, and persistent habit that seeps into our bodies, beliefs, relationships, and our cultural practices. And yet, there are what Deleuze and Guatari called lines of flight-small fractures, glimpses of something different, something emergent and possible, that offer a way through. We might catch glimpses of these lines of flight when we encounter one another in our mutuality, divinity, and power; when we feel the softening of the grip of a refined sense of who we are or what we think; when we are met with grace, forgiveness, understanding, curiosity; and when we experience even momentary joy, aliveness, ‘okayness.” The question for us then becomes how do we not just find the cracks or the lines of one worlding?”

I believe that our liberation lies in the pluriverse.
And I consider it an honor to be in teaching spaces where I get to share my passion and purpose, as someone who is committed to being a lifelong student and practitioner of collective liberation.
Here is another opportunity to expand our minds and realities of what is possible because the truth is as Nelson Mandela said it, “it always seems impossible until it’s done.”
This opportunity is a workshop series that I helped co-create last summer and will be returning to co-facilitate next month. We had such a beautiful response from our almost 40 students from around the globe about building new worlds that we are offering it again.
We call it Pluriversal Practice.
Check out this post where we talk about our process and how this workshop series came to be in this roundtable discussion with myself, Farah Mahesri, katie robinson, Maha El-Sheikh, and Brooke D. Lavelle, “Why Pluriversal Practice Can Strengthen Our Movements for Justice and Liberation.”
These sessions take place virtually every Friday in May (2, 9, 16, 23, 30) and is for folks committed to sensing alternatives and building capacity for pluriversal practice and solidarity.
