*Only 8 seats available. 

Clap Back Mission:

Listen and learn towards a better understanding and appreciation of our dignified selves in a community of beings who share a similar struggle. 

The Clap Back is a panel-driven group discussion forum designed to hold space for a group that is frequently marginalized, shamed, or silenced within a larger societal context, using difficult questions and active listening to enhance exploration of empowering truths.

Have you experienced a Clap Back Panel Discussion? Are you interested in moderating your own? Do you want to learn how to adapt the Clap Back to your own community? Do you need support to make it happen? If your answer to any of these is "yes," then join me at Pinxit Studios for the Clap Back Training Workshop for moderators: Restoring power to our communities. During the workshop, we will explore the Clap Back Curriculum, learn of the inner workings and fundamentals of the Clap Back, role play through some common scenarios, and discuss what it takes to have a successful Clap Back event. 

We will discuss:

1: How to choose panelists,
2: How to include everyone in the discussion,
3: How to mitigate cross talk and defensive critiques,
4: How to let go of expectations and judgment,
5: How to set the tone,
6: Possible avenues for funding

Cost for 3 hour training workshop: $125
