Led by a trauma-informed instructor, this session centers empowerment through mindful movement, self-compassion, and embodied presence. Whether you're a seasoned yogi or brand new to the mat, all bodies and identities are welcome. This is a quiet space to honor yourself, support one another, and embrace rest as a radical act of care.

No prior yoga experience is needed. Mats will be available, or feel free to bring your own. Remember to wear comfortable clothes that you can move in.

Led by trained martial arts instructor Victor Chico of Oxy Karate, this interactive session will introduce participants to foundational karate-based self-defense techniques—no prior experience necessary! Through guided practice, you’ll learn how to recognize threats, assert your boundaries, and respond to unsafe situations with strength and confidence.

Every year, the fair is hosted during Project SAFE’s Empowerment Week, an annual observance held at Occidental College to raise awareness of campus sexual assault and provide a platform for survivors and their allies to share messages of hope and healing. The Empowerment Resource Fair is open to all students, staff, and faculty committed to raising awareness of and preventing sexual assault and gender-based violence on college campuses. Games, activities, prizes and resources will be provided for all who participate!

Join us to learn more about how these practices can inform survivor-led healing, boundary-setting, and community building—especially in the wake of violence or harm. 

All participants will be provided with a free goodie bag full of safe sex materials, and will be invited to bedazzle their own spank paddle.

Project SAFE is excited to welcome Survivor Advocate, Pilar Montenegro (she, her, hers), to the team! Stop by the Academic Quad to meet her and learn more about Project SAFE's confidential advocacy. She can share information regarding how to schedule an appointment, what our walk-in hours are, and other resources and services available via Project SAFE.

Stop by the Project SAFE office on Thursday, August 28, from 4:00pm to 6:00pm. Come meet our team, learn about our programs, and meet fellow community members. Please enjoy various activities, snacks, and free goodies while you ask questions and explore our office!

The Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and Two-Spirit Folks (MMIWG2S) movement aims to raise awareness and prevent disproportionate violence experienced by Indigenous peoples in Canada and the United States, advocating for justice and action.

The screening will be followed by a post-film discussion that discusses the central themes of identity, power, autonomy, and self-worth.

Have thoughts on the film? Offer your perspective and take on the nuanced portrayal of class dynamics, emotional resilience, and societal perceptions of sex work. Anora raises compelling questions about self-perception, healthy and unhealthy relationship dynamics, and power imbalances in relationships that we hope to investigate and analyze together!

Want to vent about something going on in your life? Need some extra motivation to push through the rest of the semester? Have some interesting facts or fun tv show recommendations to share?

Meet and hang out with Project SAFE's amazing team of Peer Advocates from 12:00 PM to 1:30 PM on the MP/Branca Patio for some chill vibes, coffee and tea from the Green Bean, and more!
