🧹Spring Cleaning the Future🚀
A Ritual of Release & Reclamation
While the US observes Presidents Day, we gather across time zones to practice something older and wiser ... the art of letting go to make room for what's coming.
Drawing from Chinese New Year traditions of sweeping away the old year's dust and Black liberatory practices of transmuting injustice into fuel for freedom, we come together across diasporas to tend to what we carry and what we're ready to release. 🥹
We will:
Name what no longer serves us (the shoulds, inherited stories and systems that weren't built for our thriving)
Offer residual harm to be recycled, our rage to be transformed
Sweep it all into the fire together
Spark new vision in the warmth of what remains
This is relational practice: not performed alone in isolation, but witnessed and held in community. We gather what weighs us down. We let it burn. 🔥🐉
And in the ashes, we find each other and the futures we're building together.
Then, honoring the wisdom: Don't clean up on Tuesday. Let the wealth of collective energy keep on cooking.
🦦Take the day off. No haircuts, no tidying, no trying to make sense of it all yet. Keep a moment from Monday in your back pocket.
Know... we gonna be alright.
This space is for you if: You have lived experience as a Black, Indigenous, or Person of Color.🐉
Note: I am aware that the label BIPOC erases the unique lived experience of those who fall under that label. However, if you've found your way to spaces where your nervous system felt safe(r) when they've been labeled like this, this space is for you.
These are the kind of questions we'll be inviting into these spaces: Who created these labels? Is there something that better suits and adorns me? Let's talk about it.
This gathering is part of Roots & Routes: the intersection where different lineages meet, where we practice futures together.
