What is “Decolonizing the Heart”?
An ongoing series of community art circles exploring how we reclaim connection, presence, and creativity within complex social systems. Each gathering focuses on a unique theme, offering space to reflect on how we navigate movement and stillness, growth and rest, identity and belonging.
What to expect
Aviva Arts offers a place to listen, question, connect and activate.
Decolonizing the Heart explores arts practice as a method of systemic disruption.
We’ll call ourselves into the present moment, calm the nervous system and create connection amidst an ever-changing and urgent world that encourages isolation and divisiveness.
Participatory in nature, each session may include personal check-ins, meditation, drawing, movement, writing or other embodied exercises.

UP NEXT: Resistance & Flow
Facilitated by mixed-identity folks with roots in Europe, occupied Palestine, Israel and the greater SWANA region, we are in solidarity with the struggle for Palestinian liberation and unequivocally oppose the violence and injustices perpetrated by Zionism. We welcome anyone seeking community connection and tools for self-care.
