Healing Not Harm: Practicing Community Care & Pod-Mapping with Mia Mingus

This workshop will explore what it means to seek support and give support in times of crisis through the practice of pod-mapping. This workshop will go beyond “self-care” and explore what care looks like in a community setting.

According to facilitator, Mia Mingus, a pod is a group of people who you can go to if violence, harm, or abuse has happened to you, if you caused harm, or if you have witnessed harm. These people can be called to support with immediate and ongoing safety, accountability and transformation of behaviours, or individual and collective healing and resiliency. Participants will learn the concept of transformative justice pods, how to map your pod, and how pods can be used.
