Communal dreaming and plant storytelling

About

So much of the work of oppression is policing the imagination. ~ Saidiya Hartman

We will wander through the marshes, collectively learning from and with each other about the plants that we meet along the way. Moving with a gentle pace, we will try to slow down to tune into our senses, to observe and to notice. To close, Maymana will share a herbal tea for relaxation, encouraging us to journal and imagine together how the season ahead could bring us closer to liberation.

This session is part of the year-long project common /play grounds led by yasamin and sass.  common /play grounds sides with our new programme strand Mujaawarah (neighbouring) striving to nurture rootedness and community, shared wisdom and wellbeing.

Maymana Arefin (she/they) is a nature guide, writer, artist and community gardener based in London. Through leading nature immersions, plant and fungi walks, her work focuses on deep rest and healing and restoring our communion with our non-human kin.
