Practice Forward: Resilient . Creative . Communities is a new workshop series curated and framed by
Culture Mill. Claiming that a community of practice cultivates a community of care, each session offers embodied and creative practices to strengthen resilience and deepen connections, collectively building community resilience and capacity to help us face uncertainty. This series insists that creativity and embodiment are key to building resilient communities.
Culture Mill's Fall 2025 series is provided in partnership with the Haw River Ballroom.
Next Up:
Join us September 23 at 6PM at the Haw River Ballroom for Processing Chantal: Embodied Integration of the Flood
Just two months following Chantal, and during the one year anniversary of Helene and 20th anniversary of Katrina, there is much to grieve, be with, move through, and welcome in as we collectively experience climate crisis. Culture Mill will facilitate a space to the broader community in which we can acknowledge the work that has been done, share and hear personal stories centered around climate crisis. In a series of embodied practices we integrate individual and shared experiences, learn body-centered tools, and embolden communities with practices that support creative and responsive resilience.
This offering is FREE, but please pre-register!
