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.
