This year’s virtual ARCOS Summer UNtensive, We’re Not Going Back, will be facilitated by anti-racist body-based artist agitators Kai Hazelwood and Sarah Ashkin of Practice Progress. Kai and Sarah are offering three intertwining streams each including guest artists, through which participants can craft their own experience.

INDIVIDUAL DATES & TIMES*
Additional time info:
Practice Progress facilitates anti-racist learning to address and undo white supremacy. We lead our clients and participants toward sustained cultural shift in their institutions, communities, and themselves through a body centered approach. When we bring sensation and awareness to the ways racism is living in our bodies, we have an opportunity to change our relationship to it, to know it, and eventually dismantle it. This whole-person approach invites real transformation for individuals and organizations. For more information visit practiceprogress.org.
