We use them as tool s to explore the world and transform it\, and to connect with each other. This workshop focuses on our hands’ creative and caring potential\, but al so intends to create awareness about their damaging power. Hands-on\, Hand s-off encourages participants to share their experiences\, thoughts and ne eds\, and invites them to listen\, understand and respect those of others. In a safe and supportive environment\, participants are invited to use th eir hands to transform fabric gloves to represent experiences related to g ender-based violence that may be hard to express in words. The gloves will be creatively transformed to address and understand gender-based sexual v iolence and rape culture on campuses\, allowing our bodies to become sites for healing\, resistance\, communication\, and commemoration.\n\nFacilita tor: Maria Ezcurra\, McGill Art Hive Initiative Facilitator\n\n3 - 4:30 PM - Bodily\, Walking Into the Woods\n\nLobby of the Education Building\, 37 00 McTavish\n\n Walking is as mundane an activity as it can be challenging . For those of us who have experienced any kind of (bodily/psychological) trauma or live with any variety of anxiety disorder or depression\, someth ing as simple as 'walking' (i.e.: putting oneself in the public sphere to get from point A to point B) may not be a source of respite or mental rela xation\, rather\, a space of confrontation (oneself with one's thoughts\; oneself with the world). Bodily\, Walking Into the Woods proposes a silent \, meditative and collective foray onto the path in the grand park that is Mount-Royal. The act of collectively creating a container for this everyd ay action may hopefully offer even the smallest moment of respite as we wa lk together\, in solidarity (even if in silence)\, sharing a moment of qui etude and natural beauty. 2. Walking is as mundane an activity as it is pr ofound. Not only does it allow a moment of being with our thoughts - a pre cious time to process events (big and small) - it also opens a space for b reath and time for decompression. Or to leave thoughts behind. In this int erval-like activity\, I have experience some of my most cherished moments of simple joy. Living with chronic low grade depression\, I have also noti ced how walking\, as a practice\, has acted like a reset button over and o ver again. Something about the body connecting with breath\, sky\, and gro und (simultaneously) has repeatedly cleared the cobwebs\, making wellness seem like an actual and attainable possibility. 3. When we walk in a place \, over and over\, that place becomes ours. It recalls our experiences as we rewrite them onto these paths. Walking as reclamation of (public) space .\n\nFacilitator: Victoria Stanton\n\nFollow Growth on the Horizon for mor e information and a complete list of workshops being conducted across camp us:\n\nFacebook event: https://www.facebook.com/events/213897785853596/\n \nWorkshop/presentation schedule: https://growthonthehorizon.tumblr.com/po st/171804991540/schedule-of-workshops-and-presentations\n\nWebsite: www.ti ny.cc/growthonthehorizon”\n\n \n\n\n\nGrowth on the Horizon: A Day of Arts -Based Healing at McGill\n\nIn the spirit of wellness\, community building \, and collective reflection\, join us on March 22\, from 9 am to 5 pm in the Arts Building Lobby\, for a student-initiated\, arts-based event aimed at understanding\, addressing\, and healing from rape culture and gendere d violence on campus.\n\nGrowth on the Horizon will bring together survivo rs\, students\, artists\, allies\, administrators\, faculty\, staff\, and front-line workers to participate in activities that foster exchange and r eflection around the reality of sexual and gendered violence on campus\, a long with individual\, collective and institutional forms of healing and c are.
