September 2024 – January 2025: “Somatic Seasonal Aliveness Development” with Babatunde “Zubbi” Azubuike (BAH-BAH-TOON-DAY, ZUH-BEE, AZU-BOO-KAY). This 4-part series utilizes politicized somatics, meditation, visualization, indigenous wisdom and storytelling. Each session focuses on the lessons and learnings available to us in each season. The presenter draws from the centuries-old wisdom that the natural world can offer as we fight for a more just world. Participants will journey together in exploring the rhythm of the elements and their blueprint for liberation. The order of seasons was curated to hold space for warmth during the seasonal darkness and isolation the end of the year can bring here in the Pacific Northwest. Attend as many sessions as you like.
