Early Learning Program on Imaginary Emancipation

Imaginary Emancipation is a practice inherent to the human mind. You may already be practicing it without even realizing it. Imaginary Emancipation allows you to step back from the world, to isolate yourself from its influence and its normative narratives, so that you can view the world critically and freely, and let altered versions of reality emerge.

LIWHYnation offers opportunities to practice Imaginary Emancipation through writing workshops led by Julie Heyde.

Practice whenever I want

Workshops are held by registration directly on the website and via the newsletter. Workshops are open to everyone ages eight and up, unless otherwise noted. They are hosted by partner organizations that we select for their commitment to practices aligned with “Émancipation imaginaire.”

All workshops last 2 hours and are pay-what-you-can, unless otherwise noted. Workshops require a minimum of 5 participants and are limited to a maximum of 12. If you are unable to attend, please let us know at least 24 hours in advance.

Follow the program over the course of a year

The full program runs for one year; it consists of four cycles, each comprising twelve workshops, at a rate of one workshop per week (including one week during school breaks). The program concludes with an immersion weekend featuring two four-hour sessions.

As soon as 10 people express interest, a group is formed and decides on the format (in-person, video conference, or a combination) based on the group’s composition.

For every group of 10 people, one spot is reserved for someone who cannot afford the introductory program. Other ways to contribute are discussed on an individual basis.
