i create MEDICINE AS ART as medicine, AND SACRED DREAMTIME CONTAINERS FOR MY OWN HEALING + COLLECTIVE LIBERATION from the colonial Imagination.
When we dream, we access realms beyond our conscious understanding. We access the otherwise: we touch the unprecedented in parts of our consciousness that our ancestors want us to remember so that we can be free.
And what if these dreams weren't just personal messages, but gateways to *collective* wisdom? What if we gather together not just for our own understanding, but to see how we, all of Us, are already touching the radical existence we want to make in the world?
If dreaming could be a radical act of existing otherwise, would you join us in it?

I create to See what's possible. I create in order to make maps of liberation; imprinting possibility in my cells where there was once pain or some lost opening. I create in order to free myself from what the colonial imagination tried to decide I was, could be, could access or sustain. Deep in my cells, I create as the loving rebellion I need to see in order to celebrate Being Alive.
The world needs the rise of the rebel, the wayward, the dreamer in all of us in order to break the colonial spell in its totality. So my prayer, Beloved One, is that the medicine of my Art and these sacred containers they inhabit, invite the rebel in you, the wayward in you, the dreamer in you to Awaken into their Highest expression(s).
May we all have permission.
Beloved One, I started working on a document to share my collaboration approaches and values over four years ago, a little before the decade mark of my professional career as an artist. There’s google docs and notes on legal pads and many text threads where I gathered language I wanted to share with people about […]
I went to the river in my “doing” postureWith all the things:My offerings, my towel, my ideas of what I needed to release.When I got to her, down the rocks, after almost falling from the imbalance of the bags on my shoulders, I was shaking.Holding my belly tightly from two weeks in New York City, […]
Enjoy this piece from the archives. I was in the thick of my Ubungoma initiation (known as ‘Ukuthwasa’) during this sharing, and I felt called to post it here on the blog. This piece is a true spill. A sharing from another dimension that invites us to meditate on and enter into Time in an […]
