EXPLORING OUR COMMON GROUNDS: for Speaking Without Othering with Selin M.
Rethinking Inclusion as a Felt Experience
We often talk about inclusion, but what if our words unintentionally create distance instead of connection?
In this workshop, we slow down and ask deeper questions:
How do we speak with people, not about them?
How can we welcome without demanding personal disclosure?
What makes a space truly safe, seen, and shared?
We’ll explore how invisible disabilities, migration, and layered identities shape how we show up. And how inclusion lives not just in policy, but in presence, silence, tone, and care.
Grounded in intersectional and embodied practices, this session invites reflection, not instruction. It’s not a checklist – it’s a conversation.
Come as you are. Your complexity belongs.
