VIRTUAL IPRC: Toxic Productivity and the Creative Cycle

In this workshop hosted by Marina Martinez-Bateman, we will be deconstructing the toxic habit many of us have of associating our worth with our ability to produce. Especially in this uncertain and stressful time, we feel external pressure to make work that will help others contextualize a situation we ourselves may not yet have a handle on. Add to that isolation combined with a constant social media feed of friends and colleagues to unfairly compare ourselves to, and this is a recipe for despair. We will talk about where toxic productivity comes from, how to identify it, and we will practice some exercises that will help us develop other coping strategies.
Participants should come with pen and notebook and/or anything else that helps them think and process in group discussion settings. We will be journaling from prompts and discussing discoveries together.
