In a world affected by multiple crises, it is only natural that we seek out stability and a sense of belonging by forming groups around our specific identities and social, cultural and economic affiliations. This helps us remain rooted in place, community and shared purpose and can give us powerful platforms from where to organize against oppression and towards a more just future. Yet, if we are not careful this tribal tendency can divide the world and our movements into friends and enemies – good and bad – inside and outside. How then do we nurture the importance of staying rooted in communities that matter to us and who understand our struggles, while still expanding our circles of influence and belonging and staying open to the tensions required to learn from different bodies of knowledge and communities of practice? In this session we will explore our capacity to hold complexity, our edge and our strengths, through a series of embodied exercises and interactive conversations, so that we can build networks of solidarity across movements while staying grounded in what is real to us at this time and place.
