Community Agreements

From: The Agreements for Multicultural Interactions at the East Bay Meditation Center, Adapted from Visions Inc, “Guidelines for Productive Work Sessions” www.visions-inc.org

Try It On: Be willing to “try on” new ideas, or ways of doing things that might not be what you prefer or are familiar with.

Practice Self Focus: Attend to and speak about your own experiences and responses. Do not speak for a whole group or express assumptions about the experience of others.

Understand the Difference Between Intent & Impact: Try to understand and acknowledge impact. Denying the impact of something said by focusing on intent is often more destructive than the initial interaction.

Practice “Both / And”: When speaking, substitute “and” for “but”. This practice acknowledges and honors multiple realities.

Refrain from Blaming or Shaming Self & Others: Practice giving skillful feedback.

Move Up / Move Back: Encourage full participation by all present. Take note of who is speaking and who is not. If you tend to speak often, consider “moving back” and vice versa.

Practice Mindful Listening: Try to avoid planning what you’ll say as you listen to others. Be willing to be surprised, to learn something new. Listen with your whole self.

Confidentiality: Take home learnings, but don’t identify anyone other than yourself, now or later. If you want to follow up with anyone regarding something they said during a session, ask first and respect their wishes.

Right to Pass: You can say “I pass” if you don’t wish to speak.

-Medium:1080 HD Video, blue cornflowers, glass and vinyl
-in a custom-made outfit that samples blue, the ‘indigo of their ancestors’ the artist dances to rid themselves of inter-generational ‘curses’ and to ‘curse’ those who harm others. tuning to the corporeal connection of sound, the dance celebrates the plasticity of the body and mind while the breath punctuates the song as a beat. In the installation, the offering of blue cornflowers is site specific to texas as they are found in the south/west region and serves as an offering to all those on the journey of healing from ongoing cycles of trauma.
