Each workshop day is framed as an invitation to think deeply, root even deeper, and build tools for personal, interpersonal, and collective freedom. Readings, conversations, and prompt invitations are rooted in decolonial, feminist, global majority liberatory thinking! In mending our relationship to Land, to each other, and to our ancestors. In learning from an Indigenous, Black, Brown, Queer, Trans, Abolitionist, Decolonial spirit/framework. Rooted in talking to ancestors, healing generational trauma, holding each other in tenderness and in accountability, fighting fiercely, activating anger for change, learning from each other, demanding better, and building a future where we can thrive, not merely survive.
I ask that participants come as they are, with what they hold. I ask for curiosity, intentionality, and openness.
Each participant will receive a Liberation Toolbox, a take-home collection of materials, creative prompts, and resources from all three workshops designed to extend learning beyond the workshops. While participants are highly encouraged to attend the full series (all three days), the Toolbox ensures that those who attend one or two workshops can still engage with the complete set of practices, allowing the project to continue unfolding in participants’ everyday lives and communities.
Masks will be MANDATORY at all 3 workshops to create the safest space possible. They will also be provided at the door.
About the facilitator: María Célleri, PhD (she/her/ella) is a queer disabled Latina immigrant, healer, bruja, and educator. Born in Venezuela to Ecuadorian parents and raised in NYC—I was born in transition. At age 4, I was diagnosed with chronic migraine. My migration and chronic pain have influenced my worldview and experience in my body. With a Master's in Gender Studies & a PhD in Ethnic Studies, I moved to Baltimore to teach, and now I'm an Associate Professor in Gender, Women's, & Sexuality Studies at UMBC. I have over a decade of experience teaching in college classrooms and community spaces. I see my role as “teacher” as that of a facilitator of experiential knowledge, a person who can curate safe spaces of care where people feel comfortable sharing and taking in hard information, as well as someone who can tie these pieces together and produce usable skills for participants.
