Reclaim your Roots:
An embodied journey.
Opening liberatory pathways!
What is this journey about?
Reclaim your Roots is space centering folks of the Global Majority who are curious, courageous and called to play in our sacred soil together. This is a six week embodied container that invites you to journey into your Roots.
Root into new patterns and ways of being that embrace your whole-essence, and somatically remember your joy and aliveness. That involves going into your inner landscape, into the soil, to sense what asks to seed, grow, shed, and bloom. We will do this through the subtle power of breath and body, activating templates of co-liberation.
We will co-explore themes such as rootedness, home, sense of belonging, Ancestors, routes, liminal space, names, culture making, wholeness, regenerative landscapes, community, using breathwork, movement, embodied inquiry and creative expression.
I am stewarding this process, bringing in my own lived experience where deepening my roots in all directions is seasonal and continuous. Coming with oceanic crossing from Sri Lanka to the Netherlands to South Africa bringing diasporic, migrant, adoptee flows. Combined with elements of a space holder, coach, breathworker, and and and,
Turning to the earth, the land, body and spirit, leaning into decolonial ways of becoming and un/doing. Gesturing to another earth frequency, creating life-affirming pathways.
Join our embodied journey that holds and honours your beautiful complexities, rich lineage(s) and culture(s). Cultivating a new way forward. A Rooted Liberation.
Six Embodied Activations

Rootedness
Going into the soil. Placing our ear to the earth. Tending to our bodies, our lands.

Foundations
At the heart of our offering lies a profound devotion to embodiment, decoloniality and emergence. We invite you to drop into your body, to listen deeply to your senses as we move together on this transformative journey.
Activations may take the form of poetry, song, sound, or inquiry – all received not only by our minds but by our bodies. We slow down to listen to the language of our bodies, to unravel the ways in which colonial-capitalist-patriarchal holdings are present. With courage, we disrupt these patterns and invite more liberatory ways into our spirit, body, heart, and mind. Decoloniality is not just a destination but a continuous process of remembering our energetic sovereignty.
Emergence calls us to be present, both personally and collectively, creating space to lean into uncertainty. It Invites us to lean into the unknown of what will emerge from the cracks and edges of the landscape we traverse. Welcoming what is ready to unfold. Together, we create a rich terrain in which to reclaim our roots, nourished by the nutrients of embodiment, emergence, and decoloniality.
Join us on this journey of deep inquiry, transformation, and co-liberation.
