Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Our outcomes will be a new curriculum created in collaboration with teachers, healers, and activists. We will also produce fifteen two-hour long community workshops exploring DYFIT movement alongside various activism, healing, and self-care teachings; and a concluding daylong symposium/retreat synthesizing and sharing what we have learned from the diverse workshops. We invite reflection at the end of each workshop and have designed surveys specific to our practice. The project team will have a separate survey at the end of the season of workshops.

Measurable Outcome(s)

DYFIT created twelve self and community workshops, attended by more than 350 participants. DYFIT collaborated with ten different experts working in the fields of art, healing, and activism to create these workshops.
