It’s Bigger Than All Of Us 2023 — Creative Immersion
"It can be dangerous to investigate what our lives depend on, to recognize that freedom requires a species-scale betrayal of our founding mythologies."

Artist Callout: It’s Bigger Than All Of Us
A playful, creative, + intimate container to practice radical imagination in response to the crises of this time.
It’s Bigger Than All Of Us (IBTAOU) is a storytelling immersive for young artist-leaders (with priority to women, queer, and non binary folx from Scarborough). We will move from a place of understanding that storytelling can be used as a changemaking tool to reclaim our personal narratives + transform our collective story. IBTAOU is a space to build trust and step further onto the path of healing our relationships to self, earth, spirit, + community.

Much love to the sweet crew of thoughtful storytellers who joined forces for this rest/play/community portal <3
