The Cycle of RISE explores our human journey through the lens of POWER— what it is and our ability to realize it, express it, and participate in and with it, as an individual and a collective experience. Today we struggle for power, we grasp for it, we hide from it, we hesitate to use it and weigh its pros and cons as though it were a commodity – to be gained and lost—and not a dynamic force that is as much a process and expression, of an embodied experience. On this journey we use BLOOM’s frameworks as navigational tools to discover new language and practices with which to: cognitively understand POWER identify new embodied practices with which to explore it; creative the tools and practices with which to exercise it, navigate its current with others Share in it collectively In this Basecamp Session, Olubode, the BLOOM Guides and members gather before the journey to check our bags – to pack and unpack for the POWER Trip!
