To The Ritual Knowledge Of Remembering // breath, movement, writing with Lateisha Davine Lovelace-Hanson
2 July: 18.00-20.00 BST
In this workshop, Lateisha will lead you through a ritual of finding ways to reconnect to your physical- spiritual body. Moving and writing to inspire a deep sense of grounding, expansion and pleasure. Envisioning the body as a portal - using visualisations, embodied tools and writing prompts to explore what healing, self-connection and interdependent liberation looks like in times of complex uncertainty. This will be a space to nurture support from within, each other and the Earth.
