Media Literacy to Heal from a Propagandized Narrative
​

Thursday, July 10th | 7 PM - 9 PM 

Hosted by Marbella Calvillo Villa


In collaboration with COYOTL, a radical world building VFX house, and SOVERN LA, an intersectional community center, we bring you a live six part series on Media Literacy to heal from a propagandized narrative.

We will be using the fundamental skills of Media Literacy to identify the colonialist structures in film and television and by doing so unlearning these structures for the purpose of telling better more authentic stories.

Qi Cultivation + Earseed Training
Saturday & Sunday, July 12th & 13th 
10 am - 10:45 am 


Ear-seed treatment and training allows us to skill-up as we do community acupressure in the tradition of the Young Lords and Black Panthers. In an "each one teach one" model, we increase access to this elegantly simple, highly effective, non-invasive treatment modality.
Learn breathwork, embodiment, and energy (qi) cultivation you can do at home and with your loved ones. These practices help us lower our cortisol and adrenaline so that we can feel safer and freer in our bodies.
