Musings from the Circle
The circles are going full force and continue to be a space I look forward to each time. While it remains a relaxed, informal space where you are free to show up exactly as is- there is a method to the madness.
My co-facilitator Chadra, is the only human I could conceive of doing this work with, truly, my perfect counterpoint. Before we opened the circles we asked each other, how do we have impact? How do we create space to challenge ourselves and the inherited beliefs we walk around with? How do we do this without creating a debate space or yet another arena for performance? How do we help deconstruct oppressive systems from where we sit, with the tools at hands? We have built in resources to the work and built out agendas. Our goal is simple- change mindsets in a way that impact decisions and actions while also actively building community based on connection and shared values/practices.
We maintain free circles because everyone should have access to the space and support to do this work and be in community. Because we meet on (encrypted) zoom we hope it creates a pathway for as many as possible to join. We have been increasing frequency to give more opportunity to join us!
Chadra and I have been developing two in-person sessions (here is a sneak peek):
Healing & Unlearning Immersion: Chiang Mai Recover from burnout in Chiang Mai with guided healing , body-based practices, and nervous-system support to reset your mind and body.
Learn practical ways to unlearn harmful patterns around stress, safety, and control-so you leave with tools you can use right away
Truth & Memory: Ghana: Accra and Kumasi: Discover history while centering truth and memory through guided reflection and shared and experiential learning.
While in community with supportive and like minded individuals, we will reckon with the impacts and legacies of hundreds of years of exploitation through accountability and practices of repair. (This trip requires 3 online sessions pre-work to ensure we have a harm free community).
We look forward to bringing the full details soon.
