WOVEN

Witnessing continuous horrors happening in our world have shaken us to our core.

In the midst of this colonial nightmare, the default may be to numb and lose ourselves (and one another) in it all.

However, what if we choose differently?

What’s possible when we orient towards a deepest vision of our beloved Ancestors?

What if we can touch into real beauty and goodness without bypassing all the hard (and necessary) stuff?

What new world and new possibilities are we able to create.

Because beloved one we already know how strong we all are but the question that begs to be answered is how tender can we get together?

And for those of us who live in bodies that have been systemically brutalized our tenderness is also resistance and liberation.

Our softness and our watchfulness reminds of what we’re fighting for, crying for, rallying for and what our ancestors lived and died for.
