SUMMARY:Solidarity with LGBTQ+ Sudanese in Times of Crisis : Notes for the Sector
DESCRIPTION:Since April 2023\, the current counter-revolutionary war in Sudan has led to the displacement of 30% of the country’s population and the worst refugee crisis of our time. The ever-worsening humanitarian crisis\, fueled by internal power struggles and external interests in the control of gold and other natural resources\, has largely been met with silence and inaction from the international community. \n\n\n\nThe Canadian immigration system has responded with measures that allow Sudanese nationals in Canada to extend their temporary stay as well as introducing a process for family members to be reunited with their loved ones. Since the announcement of these measures\, however\, there have been many calls for further action from groups like the Sudan Solidarity Collective for Canada to respond to the urgency and severity of this ongoing crisis by opening pathways that remove strict limits and conditions of the program\, including financial requirements\, family connections\, and more. In this effort\, we must take into the consideration the particular experiences of vulnerable minorities\, such as the LGBTQIA+ population – both in advocating for a stop to the violence in Sudan\, and ensuring that we welcome Sudanese with the correct support and solidarity. \n\n\n\nAt Positive Spaces Initiative\, we want to explore the queer perspective on the current war\, displacement crisis\, and barriers to immigration pathways.  \n\n\n\nOn December 5th\, OCASI PSI will host two Sudanese LGBTQ+ activists who advocate for women\, LGBTQ+\, and gender-diverse Sudanese communities\, to share their experiences and calls to action. Together\, we will discuss the above questions as well as possible actions those in the settlement sector in Ontario can take to advocate for Sudanese communities.

SUMMARY:World AIDS Day 2024: HIV Futures
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a special screening and discussion to mark World AIDS Day. Our film program will be a series of short films\, titled Viral Interventions. The six new short films from Nepal\, Bulgaria\, Brazil\, Ecuador\, and Canada tell urgent and extraordinary stories about living with HIV today. The techniques are as diverse as their makers: from lush animation and staged floral portraits\, to radical sex performances and hybrid documentary mash-ups. Their voices are equally unforgettable\, brimming with laughter\, tears\, fury\, and joyful activism. Together\, they explore autobiographical stories from around the globe about this pandemic\, which still claims more than half a million lives every year. \n\n\n\nViral Interventions is a York University research-creation project led by John Greyson and Sarah Flicker that\, since 2020\, has commissioned artists\, activists\, and scholars to collaborate on making new films about living with HIV today. The world premiere of these films will be presented in collaboration with TIFF in Toronto on Saturday\, November 30\, and we are honoured to be able to bring these to our community in Ottawa.  \n\n\n\nFollowing the films\, we will have a performance and fireside chat about the future of HIV with artist and performer BOA\, from Canada’s Drag Race.

SUMMARY:Mindfulness Toolkit for the Holidays
DESCRIPTION:In this workshop\, we will design our very own Mindfulness Toolkit by drawing awareness to some or all of our five senses. You will be guided through grounding meditations and arts-based activities to prepare for the holidays.  \n\n\n\nHoliday time can be fun and meaningful. At the same time\, it can generate anxieties and feelings of overwhelm. Sometimes old wounds can be triggered as well. This workshop is for folks who might feel a little anxious about seeing family and relatives\, who are worried about isolation and loneliness\, and those who can get overwhelmed by the hecticness and pressure that comes with the season.  \n\n\n\nTogether\, we will breathe through feelings that come up in the present moment and equip ourselves with a set of resources that is specific to our own needs and preferences for safety and comfort. The Mindfulness Toolkit will anchor ourselves as we ride the waves of emotions in challenging or uncomfortable situations. It can be used during the holiday time and beyond. Prompts and materials will be provided to help design your own kit. \n\n\n\nPlease note that the facilitator is not a mental health professional. The workshop is focused on bringing awareness to our existing resources using mindfulness and arts-based activities\, and it will be facilitated in a peer approach. We will not be discussing any details of trauma or mental health triggers.  \n\n\n\nAll are welcome. Queer and trans folks to the front. POC to the front.This is an experiential workshop. Please dress comfortably. Meditation exercises will be short (no more than 5 minutes each). No experience of mindfulness or meditation (or art) required.  \n\n\n\nAbout the facilitator Alvis: \n\n\n\nAlvis (they/them) is a retired artist who identifies as queer\, trans masculine\, and non-binary. Their experience with mindfulness began with a meditation app and the teachings of Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh. Their mindfulness practice is guided by the S.N. Goenka Vipassana meditation technique and the Plum Village sangha tradition. Alvis’ goal for this workshop is to create space for folks to pause and plan ahead of what could be a difficult time.
