13.00-17.00: Workshop with Cassie Thornton: Post-Property Dreaming

Are you a utopian anti-capitalist struggling to live in a way you can believe in on a burning planet? Have you ever felt that you can't transform fast enough, given the changing global conditions? Do you yearn to get rid of hundreds of years of colonial training about your relationship to ownership, land and society, in the next five minutes?

In this workshop, Cassie Thornton and collaborators will present a project she co-developed called “The Hologram”, a collective peer-to-peer health practice that helps us feel the possibility of collective transformation. In The Hologram, three people (a triangle) are invited to listen and ask questions of a fourth person (the hologram). One triangle member asks questions about social health, another about physical health, and the last one about mental/emotional health. “The Hologram” includes a structured protocol for distributing care virally, to ensure that everyone who gives care is cared for.

Themes of this workshop:

For this workshop, we invite people to come with tensions related to property ownership. Many of us know, consciously or unconsciously, that in order to respond to global and local emergencies, we must reorganize our relationship to land, economy, and to each other. This transformation can feel abstract or difficult when we face it alone, because we have been trained for centuries that the only way to find safety, security, stability, and to be legible as a good person involves owning private property. Whether or not it makes us happy, healthy, or helps us survive, we rely on it because it is a belief system backed by the threat of state violence and neglect.

In this workshop, we will look at private property as a cute collective addiction that we can change, very slowly together, through telling stories and asking questions. By looking at our collective patterns and beliefs around property, we might become ready to participate in global struggles for indigenous land, from the territory of our lives.

How does it work?

This workshop offers "incomers" new to The Hologram practice a chance to learn about the history and reasoning behind The Hologram, which was born from crisis, for crisis, as well as an opportunity to experiment with the method together. The practice itself values and puts together the processes of personal introspection, social cooperation, and strategic anti-capitalist organization. The workshop takes 4 hours and is highly participatory, though parts can be joined passively at the beginning and end. Everyone who joins us will be well supported, challenged, and invited to join the larger global Hologram community of practitioners. We will use The Hologram protocol to patiently look at the relationship between our lives in Northern Europe and how they do and don't connect to the struggles of the world. What do we do from within our relative comfort while we overwork to pay for stability in a society that hurts more people than it helps?
