Hola Queridxs, I hope this message finds your hearts feeling held and supported as we continue to traverse the winding road and impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. This period of isolation has been hard, tenderizing, and continues to provide time and space for me to deeply reflect on where I’ve been, where I am, and where I’m wishing to go; examining closely what no longer serves and compassionately letting these residues go. On the daily contemplating on the topics of accessibility, accountability, sustainability, and rest. Aruhndati Roy, author of The God of Small Things, wrote an article at the beginning of the pandemic titled “The Pandemic is a Portal” that framed the pandemic as a gateway towards self actualization and transformation. This resonates and I have taken it upon myself to view this timeframe as an initiation. All growth requires some learning to be with discomfort as old ways erode to create space for the new. This period has also called for a recommitment to deeper shadow work, which has meant reclaiming parts of myself that I’ve neglected or have deemed not worthy of love, attention, and care. This is an ongoing and daily practice. The question remains, “What am I willing to divest from and how can I continue to get out of my own way and into the present moment?” As this year comes to a close, and my projects for next year begin to take shape in the midst of much uncertainty, I am writing to share this call to action to support me, if you are able to, with bringing these works and programming to life. More info on specific programming and performances follows the call. ________________________________________________________________________
