What if overcoming denials was the biggest challenge to accelerating meaningful action on the polycrisis we are facing into ? And what if it was our deeply ingrained colonial ways of knowing and being in this dominant culture that are keeping us locked into responding in the same exhausted ways ? Denying the very stories, beliefs and behaviours that keep us locked on a path towards more violence, division and breakdown. Seeking out constant solutions to hold onto that make us feel good and stop us from confronting the true depth of the mess we’re in. Facing into denial is painful and hard. But working towards acceptance with community, connection, tools, play and practicing other more expansive ways of knowing and being can help us move faster into clearing the ground for alternative futures to take root. Futures that put care, solidarity, creativity, regeneration and life at the centre . The longer we are in denial, the harder the conditions for any widespread meaningful change will become. Acceptance is fertile. Join us at Becoming Crew - for an experiential (un)learning gathering on 25th June with special guest Artist and Educator - Azul Carolina Duque from Gesturing Towards Decolonial Futures Collective to explore this and more. Everyone welcome - tickets via link https://lnkd.in/eVzmux9q #becomingcrew #unlearningtogether #community #practicedrivenchange #polycrisis ----------------- Video Credits includes short clips from: Fantastic Fungi, directed by Louie Schwartzberg Trippy animation by Anthony Francisco Schepperd

For most of the past decade we’ve been developing ways for our most severely affected, disabled and invisible colleagues to achieve and/or reconnect their own best forms of media privilege. This is a tricky landscape (and wow, daunting), but we’re better at navigating it than any other organization we know of. As increased resources flow in, we’ll get to show you more and more of the astonishing outcomes we achieve through this work. https://lnkd.in/ekNGpP-W 💖

October is Blindness Awareness Month! 🧡💙💚 This month, we take time to raise awareness and educate others about the challenges and triumphs of individuals living with blindness or vision loss. Blindness doesn’t define a person’s potential or abilities—it’s just one part of their story. Let’s use this time to advocate for greater accessibility, inclusion, and support for the blind community. Whether it’s through inclusive technologies, accessible environments, or simply increasing understanding, we all have a role to play. Image Description: The image features the words “Blindness Awareness Month” in bold orange, blue, and green letters. Above the text, there is a pattern of colored dots representing braille. The design emphasizes inclusion and awareness for those who are blind or visually impaired. Join me in recognizing the strength and resilience of people who are blind or have low vision. Together, we can foster a more inclusive world! 🌍 #BlindnessAwarenessMonth #InclusionMatters #Accessibility #SupportAndAdvocacy #InclusionForAll

Hope not Hate. It is truly inspiring when communities stand up together to reject the agenda of hate and racism driven by unacceptable extremism from irresponsible people in power and toxic social media outlets. For more than 20 years, GL11 Community Hub has been dedicated to fostering community inclusion, and connecting local people with any help they need. GL11 will always work to create inclusive environments where everyone feels safe, respected and hopeful, free from hate, fear and intimidation. To be there for you when you need us. To engage with our local communities to build hope, understanding and promote cohesion. Nine out of ten people coming to GL11 Community Hub say they feel more engaged with our local community as a result. Together, we can create a society of hope, not hate, where everyone feels valued and protected.
