Facilitator:  An(dré)a P. Ferdinand

A moment in time to welcome and explore our relationship to nature. Dré will guide a sensory experiential journey of finding nature within and around.  

With a welcome focus on exploring soil-healing-body-connection, you will need a cup of soil, a cup of water, and the courage to move your body.

This session is welcome to anyone wanting to participate in this kind of exploration. With participation encouraged by anyone with self-defined experiences of marginalised and minoritised identities/bodies to join.

Session prep: Please bring a cup of soil and a cup of water. 

Access info: All events will be free, hosted on zoom, will have live transcription notes provided using otter.ai. Please email info@12ocollective.com for any access questions. 

For this session it will be open to anyone with intentional interest in this subject, enquiry and exploration. With booking encouraged by folks with self-defined experience(s) of marginalisation. Especially folk who live in bodies that go beyond/do not meet hetero-cis ableist imposed standards of constructioned norms. 

Dre Ferdinand is a community-based wellness practitioner and a licensed social worker. She is committed to helping communities recover from systemic and intergenerational trauma and move towards self-sufficiency. Within her work, she strives to understand the intersections of food, wellness, and social justice, particularly their relationship to ancestral knowledge and practices. Her practice entails working with healing modalities that connect to four components of life - movement, energy, sound, and soil.
