This is an interactive workshop meant to help support the initiation, development, and flourishing of ancestral divination techniques within contemporary creative communities. Attendees will learn about divination from a trans-historical perspective and will find ways to weave in (a) personal divination practice(s) into their creative, organizing, educational, and cultural work.

*Optional: Please bring protective amulets, charms, plants, essences, crystals, etc. Bring something to cover your head (a hat, a scarf, a hoodie).

This workshop is a part of the Spring 2021 ecosomatics workshops at the University of Michigan – a continuation of our three earlier symposia, and a celebration of the EcoSomatics special issue of the Center for Sustainable Practices in the Arts Quarterly (January 2021).

These free online workshops are about an hour long, with a few minutes for engagement afterward, with an emphasis on experiential learning/art practice/community building. Access provisions include live transcription.

The workshop series is organized by EcoSomatics Project Director Petra Kuppers, petra@umich.edu. If you are interested in attending any of them, just send me an email, and I will send out the zoom links nearer the time.
