Rebel Soul

Rebel Soul facilitates deep connection and joy, both on the dance floor and in our workshops. During the day you’ll meet activists on the frontline, racial justice campaigners and liberation visionaries. This is a place to feed your fire, and reconnect with your hope. In the early evening we host live musicians playing feminist folk and queer punk; at night we’re a musical haven with DJs playing techno and its derivatives. Our dance floor is focused, friendly, and inclusive. Check-out our vegan cafe and radical bookshop too – your money goes directly to the campaigns and activists we’re hosting.

Friday’s Theme: Decolonial Perspectives on Climate Change. 

Description: What does it look and feel like when social justice and systemic inequality is the starting place, when we think and talk about climate change?

Saturday’s Theme: Practicing Togetherness in a Collapsing System

Description: If we acknowledge that the pillars of modernity are crumbling, how can we find each other in these times, and what are the practices that lean into new and ancient ways of being together?
