Through elemental magic, movement and writing we will undergo a meditative journey of stepping back into three ancestors of our choice.
We’ll queer ancestral practices by stepping away from the rigidity of biological essentialism, invoking lineages of creativity, activism, political action, pleasure and healing, chosen families, and queer ancestors known and forgotten.

Yoga nidra, also known as yogic sleep, invites you into a liminal space between an awakened and sleeping state which has the potential to reawaken your innate capacity for deep healing and creativity.
