This workshop explores how emerging science and the relational frameworks found in the cultures of global Indigenous and other ancient wisdom traditions promote well being and decolonization. This discussion will differentiate wisdom teachings from New Age "spirituality" that embraces the "Law of Attraction", cultural appropriation and other activities that mislead and even harm people. Participants will be encouraged to share their experiences/teachings across cultures and arts practices. Together we will come away with new and renewed strategies for community building, decolonization and art-making.

Do you have a specific idea to share, but haven't figured out how to translate it into a film? This workshop will help you develop that idea for the screen. In an interactive format, participants will share their ideas with the group and receive feedback. They will work through a series of writing and discussion activities designed to help participants discover the best way to tell their unique tale. Participants must come prepared to share their idea with the group.
