Hi everyone,
Hopefully this message finds you well.
On the 16th of April House of the Beloved will host its third anti-fascist gathering.
At 19h we start with a moment of embodiment, followed by a practice of conceptual circling.
To register: https://www.houseofthebeloved.eu/event-details/anti-fascist-reading-group-1
We don’t only want to talk about anti-fascism, but embody and become it.
Therefore we cannot merely project our grievances about fascism on some “other”, but rather recognize its potential seeds in ourselves.
The invitation is therefore to keep our contributions close to home, in our experienced personal lives.
Attached in this message you can find OPTIONAL reading material which might spark insight. You are invited to highlight a word, sentence or passage that particularly resonates with you and share it on the 16th if it still feels alive and kicking.
