Hey loves 🌼
How have you been looking after your heart today?
I will be co-facilitating the space with my wonderful, collaborators, co-conspirators and dear friends Dyani and Rambi.
We will be curating a space focusing on heart-connection and rest as resistance.
As well as discussing what embodied ecologies surrounding our relationship with death and grief look like, and how we can intuit what our bodies need through somatic release.
Activities will focus on:
- Letter writing
- Altar Making
- Community Ear Acupuncture
- Guided Rest
The event is free, you can find the ticket link in my bio.
Bios of practitioners:
Rambi works with the NADA protocol, five tiny needles placed in each ear, connected to organs, systems in the body–liver, kidneys, lungs and nervous system. A technique developed as a revolutionary medicine for those denied access to health care, supporting healing from trauma, anxiety, addiction and ongoing wounds of injustice.
Dyani is a South Florida born musician, film composer, performing artist, dream weaver, spiral guide and sound healing practitioner. His work is rooted in ancestral memory, healing and deep listening
Sange is an interdisciplinary artist, writer and educator working within speculative world building, performance and spatial design.
They have a keen interest in working within the intersection of speculative design and experimental archiving as a conduit for ancestral memory and tools for envisioning liberatory futures.
They demonstrate this by frequently incorporating black feminist epistemologies, integrated design processes and critical design methodologies into their work.

For the last hour we had @sanges_archive with a GAY IN THE CLUB themed show for the Workshop Takeover! Listen back for bass, house, and fierce club edits ❤️‍🔥
Okay, let me jump in my feels real quick. 🥹
As a child with a hyperactive imagination I recall writing stories, playing dress up and putting on shows to perform for my family, I grew out of playing dress up and performing shows but didn’t grow out of writing. It has always felt internal and personal and something I don’t really share beyond the audience of my loved ones.
However this year it feels like I’ve been calling back home different parts of myself and the embodied experiences that have held me over the past year has breathed breath back into me and for the first time in a long time I’m excited about expanding my artistic practice(s) and finding new ways to create worlds/portals that help me feel connected to the world and others.
With no formal literary experience I challenged myself to apply for the SoHo Theatre writers lab back in June with just a seed of an idea I’d only ever watered in my mind. Fast forward to submitting a few pages of my writing and a wait that felt like time had halted just for me, I’m delighted to share that I was selected as 1 of 48 writers out of 900+ applicants to be part of the writers lab cohort for 2024-25.
I’m excited for the journey that awaits for me and to write my first full length play (it’s a mad ting for real 🌼🧿🌼).
It’s been an unintentionally training for the apocalypse summer! 🏹
I never got to do outdoorsy adjacent sports growing up so it’s been really wholesome to reconnect with my inner child and tend to that part of myself.
This summer I tried kayaking, indoor wall climbing and archery for the first time, here are some visual offerings to show what that journey has been like so far.
Excited to tap into more of this, hmu if you want to join me!
