Join us for a de-escalation and communication workshop with Celia Kutz. This is part of the Community Care Workshop day on May 17: 12pm Plant Swap, 2pm De-escalation workshop, 4pm Cybersecurity workshop.

Practicing justice in a world struggling through multiple catastrophes is difficult, to say the least. Because we need each other we have to build the skills to be with disagreement and disorientation, within ourselves and our community. Come hear stories, learn internal de-escalation techniques and gain ways to communicate when things get tense. No promises, but the hope is you leave a little more grounded and clear about how to be resilient in the midst of this polycrisis.

Celia Kutz is a facilitator and trainer, radicalized through the mass mobilization movement in the early 2000’s. She’s been with Training for Change for 16 years training and facilitating thousands of groups across the social justice left. Currently she’s focused on sticky, tense and disorienting group dynamics, supporting organizers and movement directors to make embodied decisions. She lives with her dog and partner with the land of the Mohawk and Mohican, along the banks of the Hudson River, the Muheakunnk, The River that Runs Both Ways. She is guided by her work with Sacred Vibes Apothecary, Process Work Practitioners, the School for Global Somatics, and by the Jewish women who have taught her resilience, compassion and bravery.

We are committed to lowering the barriers to access for events at The Sanctuary for Independent Media. For people who are hard of hearing or deaf, blind or low-vision, or whose physical limitations can interfere with a satisfying experience, let us know two weeks in advance so we can make appropriate arrangements.
