12:00pm-1:00pm

join us for food, music by DJ Luzia Fuchsia, dancing, or rest in the quiet space, and explore Healthcare Reparations Cooperative's Imagnarium! An interactive installation that invites us to imagine and add to the story of what healthcare could be. When you step into this piece you’ll experience curated stories and can participate in interactive questioning that opens and holds space to collectively challenge the rules of healthcare as it is now.

Building a Community Welfare System in Real Time with Zedé Harut from Seeds Worth Sowing!

Welfare is the state of doing well. The health, happiness, and safety of a community. The problem was never the word welfare, but those who held it to weaponize shame. A Community Welfare System is run by the community itself. The people who need it are the same people designing, funding, and governing it; the opposite of dependency. When the system is yours, you show up for it differently than you show up for something handed to you from outside.
Building a Community Welfare System - 1:15pm-2pm
Skill Shares 2:15p-3pm
Guided Qigong with Ray Himmelman, Doctor of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine, and Qigong Practitioner!

Join a beginner-, kid- and diverse-abilities-friendly Qigong class. Breath, Movement, Intention, Grounding. The purpose of sharing the practice is to center in the body, focus intention, and use breath as a resource for regulation and grounding. This is a set of tools that support mind-body integration and self awareness as well as nervous system regulation. These skills help us stay in our integrity in whatever work we are doing in the world.
Guided Qigong - 2:15pm-3pm

Nervous System Tune-Up with Marie Michael, Somatic Practitioner and Ahnya Penny, Public Health Nurse and Somatic Experiencing Student

In this session, we’ll take some time to slow down, tune in, and get curious about what our bodies are telling us. Through simple practices, breath, and connection, we’ll explore ways to support ourselves when life feels like a lot. Self-regulation — learning how to help your own system find a little more steadiness, energy, or ease. Co-regulation — discovering how another person’s presence, attention, and connection can help you feel more settled and supported. Collective regulation — experiencing what happens when a whole group begins to interact, have a little fun, creating a sense of ease and connection.
Nervous System Tune-Up - 3:15-4pm
Limpia de Romero with Tanya & Sister Donyelle from Folkways LLC
Limpia de Romero - 3:15pm -4pm
What is the HERC 101? with Zero Burn Coalition

What is the HERC 101? - 3:15pm-4pm
PARKING - Wells Fargo parking lot, or the street
ACCESSIBILITY
There has been some construction along Broadway, but last I checked it is still wheechair accessible to get into Juxaposition.

The building is wheelchair accessible. There is an elevator to the second floor.

We are double checking with Juxa this week, but we hope to have a quiet room for people to rest, fidget, and go inward.
MASK UP!
This is a masked event unless you are eating. When you are finished eating, we ask you put your mask back on.

We ask that for our immunocompromised relatives that we mask up, we know you've been hearing about how many people are sick with school getting back in session!

We will have masks and COVID tests!

If you have a reason where you cannot wear a mask, we ask that you take a rapid COVID test.

We will have a HEPA air filter in the area where people will be eating. We will try and open windows weather permitting for air flow.
FOOD
Food lovingly made by Cole. Gluten free, vegan, and dairy free options. Potentially some sandwiches from Sammy's Eatery and dessert from Cookie Cart.

We will also have Open Market distributing fresh food for people to take home for the event and anyone in the neighborhood!
CHILDCARE
Three childcare providers will be available. Khadro, Gwen, and Carston. All have experience working in childcare and education. Children and young people are welcome in most sessions, but there will also be a childcare specific space upstairs, and weather permitting, space outside!
INTERPRETERS
Unfortunately, due to deaths in our families, health issues, cost, and lack of availability we have not been able to find support with interpreting and translation like we would have liked.

We want to live in a world of language justice. We commit ourselves to building more relationships so we can make that happen in the future.

There is a possibility that we will have a Spanish interpreter from 1pm-4pm for one session during each time slot.

Two sessions have native Spanish speakers as facilitators,
