A few highlights from 2020.
Sacred Waters Pilgrimage
As a member of The Wind & The Warrior in partnership with the Gulf Coast Center for Law and Policy, I joined a journey of healing and reconciliation with land, waters and Black and Native People’s from the Summer Solstice trough the Winter Solstice. We began on the summer solstice at the Headwaters of the Mississippi River and wrapped up on the winter solstice at one of the places where it feeds into the Gulf. Some folks have posted here.
Writing Sabbatical
An accompaniment to the Sacred Waters Pilgrimage, which required outward focus and energy towards planning, sacred ceremony and healing with other people and plant/water life, this sabbatical was an inward journey of contemplation, reflection and summation of lessons.
Here is a link to my blog. And this link will take you to recent talks, articles and more.
Healing Talks, Meditations, Sessions
I had the honor of co-facilitating a few sessions with Healing by Choice .
Rest and Restoration Series as part of co.act Detroit's Nonprofit Wellbeing Series. Participants joined biweekly sessions from September through November to reflect, rest and learn with each other through our grief. We shared simple practices that participants could use in their daily lives and share with others.
Stories by the Fire. In this four-part series offered during the Michigan Environmental Justice Coalition, we created healing spaces that center Indigenous, Black and people of color who identify as women, gender non-conforming and two spirit people, and the sacred feminine of Grandmother Moon, Mother Earth and Us, a community of humans seeking healing through connection. In Stories by the Fire we invite participants to share stories in ways that answer a larger question, facilitate deeper connection and remind us how valuable our contributions are even though we might not see major change in expected time frames. We will share rituals that are rooted in our lineages and communities and invite change and transformation.
