Rest as resistence
Changing systems is a lifelong commitment, where protests, difficult conversations, and direct actions must be complemented with deep self-inquiry, rest, and joy. In this continuous fight for liberation, each of these parts play a crucial role in sustaining our collective effort to resist systems of oppression and build a world we actually can live in.
My approach is rooted in systems thinking, where we name the barriers to our healing, awareness, and full potential. We integrate the surrounding environment like the changes of the seasons, the current of social movements, or the nuances of interpersonal dynamics into our space, and adapt the practice accordingly.
It is also through this approach I wish to redefine self-reflection, rest, and joy, pivoting away from the individualistic focus on well-being towards divestment from oppressive systems.
It is through each deliberate breath, moment of rest, and belly laugh that we resist.
