“Fostering a Space Dedicated to Reading as a Healing and Transformative Tool”

​

Visionaries is a private reading group for folks who identify with one or more of the following identities: BIQTPOC, Gender Non-Conforming or Expansive Folks of Color, and or Womxn of Color.

 

Visionaries takes a decolonial approach in that we do not replicate oppressive spaces such as educational institutions, but rather actively dismantle and re-envision what learning spaces can look like. What makes Visionaries unique from other reading groups is that the intentionally curated book selection is used as a guide specifically to support us in our personal and collective healing journeys. We center the self rather than the book itself. The focal point becomes putting the lessons being offered to us in theory into praxis for our own healing. 

 

Every new cycle opens and closes with the beginning and ending of a book. We open up by grounding ourselves through setting intentions, reading goals, and community guidelines before embarking on our shared journey. Group members are provided with an accompanying inner workbook which includes infographics, suggested activities, and supplemental guiding questions aimed at enhancing their overall experience. 

 

During our weekly discussions, members are provided the opportunity to reflect, connect, and share any insights that arose from the readings in relation to themselves. The Visionaries space opens itself up for deep introspection and collective visualization which paves the way for radical healing and the creation of a new imagined reality.
