You are magical\, worthy and needed. \nWe invite you to make and take S P A C E in authentic connection\, to benefit from the wisdom of your sisters as we connect over stories\, challenges and triumphs. Sisters’ Circle is a much needed space for women of colour to exhale\, and connect with people who truly see and hear you\, as you are. \nWhen you leave this session\, we hope you will feel loved\, seen\, heard and empowered. We look forward to seeing you.** Please note that in order to create a safe and supportive space\, we will “close the doors” and begin promptly at 18:05.

SUMMARY:Body Wisdom 2: Redefining self-care and self-soothing through the nervous system and how we relate to it.
DESCRIPTION:Join us tap into your innate needs and rediscover a healing wisdom in each one of us.\nIn the BODY WISDOM series we aim to work step by step to detangle myths and biases that concern our mental health\, somatic health\, and holistic health in general. \nNowadays self-care is often understood as buying yourself another piece of clothing\, having a bath\, or feasting on food. While all of these are nothing wrong in moderation\, they are not the tools for long-lasting\, holistic well-being. \nWhat does it truly mean to self-soothe and self-care in a relational manner? \nOne of the most direct and rather quick ways to feel regulated\, vital\, and connected more often than stressed\, disconnected\, and detached is to connect to our nervous system through our body. Our nervous system connects\, mediates\, records any type of connection and makes us aware of it. It is also not only a bunch of nerve cells\, but nerve fibers too that wrap around connective tissue in our bodies. Through our bodies we can impact\, regulate\, and connect our nervous system by introducing new movement patterns\, awareness of senses\, new way of safety and connecting and compassionate witnessing. \nSelf-soothing and self-care is sensing\, feeling\, and acting on the true needs of our body\, mind\, and soul. \nWe will also discuss practical mindset approaches to let go of any worthiness issues that may arise during the somatic portion of the workshop. \nTools used during the session: short intro to nervous system connections\, somatic meditation\, bodywork with vagus nerve\, authentic movement practice\, reflections and breathwork. \nTo attend this event\, please register via this form. (https://forms.gle/7DR8aJyj9oxjziK47)  \n\nDuration: 2-2\,5h \nPrice: 350NOK \nPlaces are limited to 15 people. \nIf you have\, bring your own mat or a blanket. \nPeople who need financial support\, please contact us on lessstress.art@gmail.com. \n\nFacilitators:\nŽivilė Virkutytė is an entrepreneur\, theatre and dance artist\, Yoga teacher (300 RYT\, Mysore)\, somatic therapy alumni (Linda Hartley Institute of Integrative Bodywork and Movement Therapy\, UK) and a co-creator of Less Stress project and podcast. In the last 3 years Živilė has been researching\, learning practically applying trauma and collective trauma teachings from Thomas Hübl\, Polyvagal Theory aspects from Stephen Porges and Deb Dana. \nMichael Kent Hellerslien is an executive coach and author of the book “Win On Your Terms: The Five-Step Process To Turn Your Inner Critic Into Your Inner Coach So You Can Be Cool\, Calm And Collected No Matter What”.  Michael left the corporate world after serving as a Key Witness in a securities fraud investigation by Okokrim. The experience left Michael fascinated by why people do what they do.

SUMMARY:Diversity & Inclusion in the Workplace: Ableism
DESCRIPTION:Diversity and inclusion in the workplace is imperative for a sustainable\, competitive and innovative company and society at large. Diversity also goes beyond the outward perception of a company – it includes how the internal structures work and signal the value systems of an organization’s management or leadership team. \nThis series is designed by Diversify to centre Diversity and Inclusion in the Workplace. We look forward to seeing you! \n\nIn honour of World Autism Acceptance Month\, our topic for April is Ableism. You are not the norm. How we uphold ableist systems and why we should stop.\n  \nWe live in a world that is inherently ableist because the systems and structures put in place were not made keeping people with disabilities in mind. Autistic activist Lydia X. Z. Brown describes ableism as the “oppression\, prejudice\, stereotyping\, or discrimination against disabled people on the basis of actual or presumed disability.” It is the belief that disabled people are inferior to their more able-bodied or able-minded counterparts. \nThe panel discussion will cover how we enable and uphold ableist systems and how we can dismantle such systems in our workplaces. \nSpeakers to be announced soon! \nThis event is FREE to attend and will be held digitally.  Please register HERE to receive the zoom link. \nThis event is supported by the Nordic Talks.

SUMMARY:Nordic Diversity\, Inclusion and Equality – What does intersectionality have to do with it?
DESCRIPTION:The Blaze Inclusion Awards celebrate and illuminate the trailblazers – individuals and organizations – who actively and passionately uplift Diversity\, Inclusion\, Equity and Belonging (DEIB) initiatives in their workspaces\, communities and society overall. \nBlaze panel discussions will follow nominations and voting periods for the Blaze Inclusion awards and will take on important DEIBJ topics featuring speakers from 8 Nordic countries. \n\nThe topic for the second Blaze panel discussion is Nordic Diversity\, Inclusion and Equality – What does intersectionality have to do with it? \nIntersectionality is a term coined by Professor Kimberley Crenshaw. It is an analytical framework for understanding how a person’s social or political identity such as ethnicity\, race\, social class\, gender identity\, sexual orientation\, and other facets of social stratification combine to create different modes of privilege and discrimination. \nThe speakers for the discussion are: \n\nWinta Negassi\, Head of HR\, Northern Europe LCS at Google from Norway;\nGreg Fernando\, Founder of New to Sweden from (Sweden);\nMiriam Petra Ómarsdóttir Awad\, Senior advisor at the Icelandic Center for Research (Rannís) from Iceland;\nKarolina Clarke\, Head of Diversity and Inclusion at WSAudiology from Denmark\n\nThe session will be moderated by Chisom Udeze\, Founder of Diversify & Herspace. \nRead more about Blaze Inclusion Awards here! \nThis event is FREE to attend and will be held digitally.  Please register HERE to receive the zoom link. \nThis event is supported by the Nordic Talks. \n\nMiriam Petra Ómarsdóttir Awad \nMiriam is an Icelandic anti-racism educator and activist.

SUMMARY:Inclusive by Design: Bridging the gap between theory and practice
DESCRIPTION:In recent years\, many organizations have introduced mandatory Diversity\, Equity\, Inclusion and Belonging trainings and various internal and external initiatives to address the identified challenges. But the potential of driving true inclusion and belonging goes far beyond that. \nWhen we create or amend a service\, product\, digital tool\, or anything else – it can be inclusive by design. It is possible to start creating in a way that ensures inclusion and accessibility for ALL people. \nBut what does that mean in reality? \nJoin Diversify and Designit to learn about inclusive design and how to translate your theoretical understanding of DEIB principles into practical action\, which can drive meaningful change and foster a sense of belonging for all individuals. We will share our thoughts and tangible examples of how to bridge the gap between theory and practice. \nJoin us for this breakfast seminar on June 23 at 8.30 am at Akersbakken 12. This session is free to attend. It is a hybrid event.\nBreakfast included. The agenda for the morning and speakers will be announced soon! \n\nThis event is FREE to attend.  Please register HERE.

He is also dedicated to contributing to employee-led initiatives and advising leadership on DEIB\, both internally and as an external advisor at CBS. \nAt the dynamic and ever-changing overlaps of various marginalised and privileged identities (white\, trans\, immigrant\, disabled\, neurodivergent)\, Emil strives to combine lived experience expertise and research in ways that are ethical and sustainable. He tries his best to approach topics of DEIB with bias-consciousness\, an open and inquisitive mindset\, radical honesty\, and from a place of critical sensitivity to how today’s inequalities have been shaped by a still ongoing history of violent Western colonisation. \nHis current fixation is trans liberation and why it’s one of two major prerequisites to gender equality.
