Oceanic Maroon States and Other Nations Beyond Place
Hosted by Ramon Gabrieloff-Parish, Regina Smith, and Naropa University with Embodied Astrology
An Afrofuturist & Astrological Festival, Oceanic Maroons is a hybrid between a festival and a conference.
Using rare astronomical alignments as a calendar this event centers African diasporic healing, contemplative, artistic and educational practices to gather communities to conceive new visions of shared identity and collective futures.
This all day, multi-day event takes place both in person at Naropa University, online and in hybrid spaces. It consists of workshops, celebrations, meditative and rest practices and powerful and visionary speakers. Open to all people, all ages.
Come create the century.
Step out of our dystopian moment and cross the border to immerse in liminal spaces seeking collective liberation, radical futures and attuned nowness. Oceanic Maroons is a cyclically manifesting community of afro/ethno/ancestral futurists, scholars, makers, astrologers, healers, poets, activists, policy makers, students and educators. Join us as we open to infinite identities and social relationships that call forth our deeper human potentials, charting futures beyond exploitation.
