Let’s meet!
There is a lot going on in the world. We cannot do it all. Not to mention: the times are urgent… we must slow down. That being said, we would still like you to know about some of the electrifying, worlds-worlding, side-eye-glancing, upside-down and inside-out events and occurrences that ten is hosting, supporting or uplifting.
Smoke & Mirrors: Undefining Perceptual Reality
{ten Kinship Event}
WHO: School of Liminal Arts
WHEN: Monday, September 1st – Friday, September 6th, 2025
WHERE: Santa Fe | New Mexico | U.S.A.
Smoke & Mirrors is a courageous body of work that extends beyond personal transformation and initiates participants to move through personal transmutation and into intrapersonal transfiguration. In our unfurling, we move off the map and wind our way through the Hall of Mirrors – piercing through illusion, releasing fixation, dropping masks, moving into and with the Void, finding camaraderie with the undefinable, the more than human, revealing, releasing, rebuilding without walls.

The Author is a Distraction
{Báyò event}
WHO: Báyò Akómoláfé
WHEN: Tuesday, September 2nd – Friday, September 5th, 2025
WHERE: UNESCO Headquarters | Paris | France
The Author is a Distraction: How AI rearranges what it means to write, learn, and be human today is a keynote from ten’s founder Báyò Akómoláfé positing that AI is less a tool, less a threat, and more of an ontological intensification of tensions within fields of accommodation that have made it possible for us humans to claim centrality and sovereignty as learners, authors, and thinkers. Akómoláfé invites people not to be so entranced by the pedagogical, cognitive, and ontological categories we have become used to (“student”, “teacher”, “author”, and “self”), and theorizes the space of ‘the authorial’, a speculative oceanic space whence new forms of expression are waiting to be born.

Rivers of Becoming: Relating
{ten public event}
WHO: ten and advaya
WHEN: Wednesday, September 3rd | 5:00pm – 6:15pm BST
WHERE: Online everywhere
Rivers are sites of relation. Always in motion, they shape and are shaped by the landscapes they touch; moving through ecosystems, nourishing life, and carrying stories. They are pathways of healing and renewal, yet they also have the power to erode, dissolve, and disrupt the calcified myths of modernity: myths of separation, ownership, property, and control. In the third and final webinar of this series, our guests Wangũi wa Kamonji and Pat McCabe will turn towards the gentle and fierce strength of rivers, learning from their capacity to move with and within relational flows.

Deep Light: Dancing the Silence
{ten Kinship Event}
WHO: Sanctuary on the Fault Line
WHEN: Saturday, September 13th – Sunday 14th, 2025
WHERE: The Meditatio Centre | St Mark’s, Myddelton Square | London | UK
Dancing Lost Gestures is the second cycle of gathering for composting and fortifying together in the fugitive, feminist dance movement Sanctuary on the Fault Line. Taking place from September 2025 to June 2026 there will be 6 workshops, performances and retreats and a podcast. This is a movement which unsticks dance from civilised, systemic and conditioned regulation, inviting it to wild space so it can germinate dances that hold and move us otherwise, and spill them among us; a movement woven from running with the wolves feminism, contemporary movement science and re-connection to the non-human world. The first session takes place in September, 2025 with a performance on Saturday, September 13th and a workshop on Sunday, September 14th.

Liquid Cartographies
{ten public event}
WHEN: Thursday, September 18th – Sunday, September 21st
WHERE: Red Hook | Brooklyn | New York | U.S.A.
Liquid Cartographies: Reshaping the Banks of the Possible is a 4-day experimental gathering that will engage participants in creating the conditions to experience concepts and places in processes of constant flux. The explorations are not fixed to hard-mapped ideas of rivers, islands, or coastlines. This is not the language of finding solutions. Co-created by ten (The Emergence Network) and Krista Dragomer, interdisciplinary artist and 15 year resident and active community member of Red Hook, Liquid Cartographies is an event with an emergent agenda based on propositions from participants and organizers alike.
Becoming Sanktuaree
{ten public event}
WHO: ten & únashay
WHEN: Every other Thursday from October 2nd – November 13th, 2025 | 12:00pm – 3:00pm MDT OR 5:00pm – 8:00pm MDT (online)
Thursday, November 13th – Sunday, November 16th, 2025 (in-person)
WHERE: Online & únashay sanctuary | Abiquiu | New Mexico | U.S.A.
Many of us are immersed in socio-cultural systems and political climates built off pain and humans’ refusal to be with it. What if such collective neglect of soul is a part of what keeps us from this feast of life? The purpose of Becoming Sanktuaree is to practice inhabiting the sanctuaries we so long for in these times, by offering experiential community-held space(s) of encounter, presence, inquiry, and creation. We invite participants into practice and dialogue, particularly cultivating our capacities to deeply listen, be present with what is, build relationship, and play with what pulses below and between our bodies.
