Presented by CCCADI CROSSROADS, UHURU Healing and Empowering Space is a virtual safe space designed to create a nurturing and supportive environment for artists and cultural advocates.
This workshop explores grief as a transformative process that invites individuals to reflect on their growth and future learning. It acknowledges the challenges of loss and seeks to guide participants toward understanding and integrating new realities, fostering individual and communal growth. This is designed to encourage dialogue, self-reflection, and collective exploration of the themes of absence, presence, and growth.
The facilitator Wilka Roig will lead discussions, group dynamics, and reflective exercises to foster a space of respect, curiosity, and compassion. Participants will examine cultural scripts, myths, and misconceptions about grief while identifying alternative responses and strategies.
