Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

We will offer 60+ free sessions of Don't You Feel It Too? from April to August. We will develop our work with communities in Frogtown and Rondo and with elder care residents and staff at Episcopal Church Home. We will deepen our practice of street action with somatic study and meditation, offered to the public as a multi-day workshop. We facilitate reflection and discussions after each public sessions. We perform surveys after all larger events and of all Cohort members.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Participants accessed and experienced DYFIT through 60+ events and a multiplicity of angles, disciplines, and formats--public improvisation, street action, meditation and mindfulness, workshops, weekly practice, neighborhood-specific, BIPOC-only, individually and collectively. We expanded our Cohort to 33. We increased our facilitator-participants to eight with five more having started initial training.
