Rebellious Care offers bespoke workshops to university staff and students around the UK.
Rebellious Care workshops promote wellbeing at university, and aim to improve both staff and student experience.
Universities are marked by overwork and overwhelm. Our practical, experiential workshops draw on simple arts-based and body-centred practices to support staff and students to better care for themselves and each other.
Our workshops complement the cerebral and textual focus of the university space by centring ways of regulating and connecting through the body.
