Amanda is a mental health counselor, social worker, mom, and guitar player in the band Lip Stitch. This interactive workshop will cover skills for building accountability into your personal life based on the Pods model developed by activist and writer, Mia Mingus. A portion of the proceeds from this workshop will be donated to Mingus’ organization SOIL: A Transformative Justice Project.

This workshop is a part of the Scene Safety Workshop Series. Participants can sign up for individual workshops for $12/each or $30 for the whole series. If you purchase this item, you are ONLY buying a ticket to the workshop on April 27th.

These workshops are open to anyone wanting to learn about creating a safer and more accountable community. It will focus on building skills for throwing safer DIY events, house shows, and concerts at all-ages and 21+ venues. We want everyone in the music and art scene to feel prepared and supported when harmful things happen.

Have you ever had to deal with someone being too rowdy at a show or not knowing what to do when a band gets called out? These workshops can help you build systems of accountability, support, and de-escalation to better navigate those kind of situations.
