Rooted Courage: An Arts-Based Inquiry into White Womanhood and our Relationship to Accountability
This container is for folks who identify as white women wanting a supportive space to grapple with our role in dismantling systems of oppression from the inside out. Taking a closer look at the white woman tropes - weaponized tears, fragility, unaccountable, choosing comfort over courage - we’ll uncover how this lives in us, what historical forces are at play, and how we alchemize these forces to arrive at our Rooted Courage.
This container is trauma-informed, compassion-based and Ancestrally-rooted. This is an embodied, personal and collective inquiry, held by song, rhythm, movement, and intention to move bound up energy and liberate new possibilities of personal truth and collective power.
This story is ultimately about transforming our relationship to power. Being honest about the ways we consciously or unconsciously out-source it, to carving pathways of in-sourcing it from our self-integrity as ‘Teachable, Abiding, Dignified, and Accountable”.
Hive: Community Song & Movement Practice
Communal song, rhythm, movement in circle has been a resource for humans across cultures, across time. This practice is about reclaiming music-making as a community way that belongs to everyone! (not just trained musicians).
Each week I will guide us through simple warm-up movements, rhythms, and vocalizations in circle, attuning as a ‘hive’. We’ll also learn short, affirmational songs about healing, courage, resilience, the Earth, love and devotion.
No previous singing experience is required. This is not about performance or sounding good. It’s about intention, presence, playfulness, and community care.
Tarantella Drum Lessons
I offer one-on-one or small group drum and song lessons on the foundations in Southern Italian and Sicilian Tarantella music. These can happen online through zoom or in person.
