This gathering is for artists, organizers, and the community to come together in a time of social and political uncertainty & take action.

Co-thought by Charles Rice-Gonzalez and Paloma McGregor, Olamina Project: The Gathering is a day-long convening for artists, organizers, and community members to come together in a time of social and political uncertainty and take action. Rooted in collective care, shared learning, and embodied practice, the gathering weaves facilitated dialogue, movement, teach-ins, and reflection to help participants resource themselves and one another. Through story circles, workshops, and informal connection, Olamina Project creates space to pause, ground, and build collective strategies—honoring the wisdom we carry, the lineages that raised us, and the actions, big and small, that help us move forward together.

Come as you are and be part of something special with Olamina Project.
