SXSW 2026 Panel Picker is LIVE — and your voice matters!
What is SXSW?
SXSW (South by Southwest) is a globally recognized conference and festival held annually in Austin, Texas. It brings together leaders in education, technology, arts, and advocacy to explore bold ideas and spark meaningful change.
Why is it important?
Being part of SXSW means joining a powerful platform where storytelling, design, and emotional resilience can shape the future of education—and I’m honored to contribute to that conversation. Your vote directly shapes the conference line up.
About the Session: Soulwork in the Sensory Age
Wellness isn’t passive—it’s crafted, shared, and soul-deep. Soulwork in the Sensory Age offers a tactile break from digital overwhelm—where rituals, story, and reflection become tools for emotional resilience. Attendees will activate their own soulwork and leave with tangible practices for reconnecting to self, community, and culture.
Hand Made Dreams is a dedicated space where mental health meets everyday life. We believe in making wellness accessible through meaningful partnerships with communities, professionals, and organizations. Led by Licensed Clinical Social Worker Ashley Witherspoon, our mission is to create open, intentional conversations that empower individuals and foster understanding. Whether through therapy, education, or collaboration, we’re here to support your journey toward mental well-being.
