The first frontline of the struggle against rising hate is in the imagination. As artists we know that this is a time when our gifts as dreamers, creators, inspirers, healers, clowns, conveners and provocateurs are urgently needed. But we also know how tempting it is to pour out our brilliance from an empty cup, or to struggle alone with our own thirst for inspiration, hope, community.

Jams are not retreats in a few important ways. We don’t retreat from the world (though that can be a valuable break!), we bring the world with us into jamming. And all of us gathered make it what it becomes. Writer Meg Wheatley says that amidst the collapse of empires, we can’t stave off all destruction but we can create sanctuaries of wholeness. What if, for a few days, we create vivid sanctuary for our full selves and each other – particularly the parts of ourselves that are marginalized, under attack, or minimized under a fascist state? What if we created the space to let our burning questions emerge and then linger? What if we played and cross-pollinated with people who begin as strangers and become co-conspirators? What if, for a few days, we filled up that creative cup?

That is the intention and the dream of the 2025 Arts for Social Change Jam. We are here as fellow artist-activists, committed to a vibrantly just future and enjoying our lives along the way – and we can’t do it without your particular brand of magic. Come and fill your cup.

OTHER ALUMNI PERSPECTIVES

in times of increasing and extreme polarization, crisis and genocide against humanity and the planet, It’s easy to react to the suffering with hate, division, fear, avoidance, isolation, numbness or other fight, flight, freeze, appease responses.

IN THIS SERIES, WE SEEK TO fortify our resilience BY deepening our connection to sacredness.

Through contemplation, practice and embodiment of mystical traditions of South Asia, we counter painful ideologies of separation.

we will call in Yoga, poetry, expressive healing arts and contemplative practice to engage with the south asian mystical traditions of Bhakti Yoga, Sufism and Sikhism that hold steadfast an underlying universal principle of revolutionary LOVE.

EMBODYING BHAKTI:
The Yoga of Love

space to contemplate and practice South Asian mysticism in community with women and non-binary Changemakers

THURSDAYS from APRIL 17th - JULY 3rd
11am PT - 12:30pm PT / 12pm - 1:30pm MT via Zoom

THIS is FOR YOU IF you…

• Identify as a women and non-binary activist who is willing to center BIPOC lineage practice and experience

• Feel burned out and disconnected, paralyzed or anxious with fear, and are wanting to cultivate or deepen your relationship to Spirit, the divine or what is sacred

• Need spiritual connection, grounding and play

• Seek to connect more in community of those committed to this exploration alongside you

SOME OF WHAT YOU’LL RECEIVE…

• A container to practice and embody another way beyond our automatic threat responses, and to regulate our individual and collective nervous systems

• Education in ancient wisdom and muses for generating the energy of love in our collective web

• Inspiration, activation, and a refined attunement to enchantment and divine sparks in day to day life

• A community of like-hearted people who want to be Lovers of the World

The Bhakti tradition was…

a revolutionary movement of reclaiming Spirit from Brahminical gatekeepers.  It was a movement by women,  Dalits, Shudras, and indigenous peoples, the disabled, trans peoples and all those who were and continue to be excluded and oppressed by dominant forces in society that hoard power and privilege.

The Bhakti movement was beautifully and raucously audacious
in its declaration that God belongs to everyone and everyone
belongs to God.   

We all deserve to dance, play, tumble, melt in and with the Divine Essence.  Barriers are social constructs. The Divine pays no heed to the walls we build to keep people apart. 

We use the word “God” in some of these titles and through this series which is meant to be shorthand for the universal essence that we each can have an intimate, personal relationship TO. This space is inclusive to any other words that resonate best with you.
