254 Essex Street,Salem MA 01970

26 May, 2022

Description

Practice conscious communication and nervous system regulation in dialogue around the lines of cultural appropriation vs. appreciation In this circle we will explore the lines of cultural appropriation vs. appreciation. Practicing skills of deep listening, keeping an open mind and heart in conflict, speaking our truth, and taking responsibility for the impact of our words. Aiming to create a space where we support everyone in slowing down, tending to our nervous systems and needs, and expressing with authenticity and responsibility. We will share and practice tools for conscious dialogue, communication, and regulating our nervous systems. Explore, learn, and grow together around the topic of cultural appropriation. All with the support of the heart-opening ceremonial cacao. This is a space for people who want support and community in their healing. For those who desire ritual and reverence. To build or deepen their relationship to plant medicine, spirit, and the elements. Edgewalkers are seekers, explorers, creatives, witches, and healers. People who willingly step into the unknown. Who want to gain insight and new perspective. To expand their comfort zone. To alchemize pain, sorrow, and fear into wisdom. We build community and learn about ourselves in sharing circle; an ancient and traditional practice. In circle, we create a space of permission for you to show up exactly as you are. There’s no advice giving and no fixing (because there is nothing to fix). There is holding, honoring, acknowledging, and reflecting. We practice authentic expression and deep listening. Every voice is equally valued. We sit with ceremonial cacao which has been used for over 5000 years. This heart-opening sacred plant supports us in reconnecting to ourselves, to the earth, and to each other. (ingesting is always optional) Learn more about your facilitators: Ariel Szabo Athena Desai
