How do we witness and honor our commitment to a decolonizing process – not only as a structural shift, but as a deeply human journey?
This Global Social Witnessing call invites us into shared presence with the lived, relational field of decolonizing work. Together, we will listen to the reflections of Rita, Jo, and Shayla as they speak to pivotal moments from the International Lab journey which they led as a team throughout 2024—moments of rupture and repair, of unlearning and emergence. These stories are not only personal, but relational—offerings shaped in collaboration and felt in community.
Following their reflections, we open the space for voices of participants from the Lab and all those present, inviting a collective field of witnessing, listening, and learning. Together, we sense into how attunement, grief, and movement can guide our path toward more whole, liberated ways of being—within ourselves, between each other, and in the systems we inhabit.
Our focus will be:
🌿 How can we attune to the subtle ways decolonization moves through our bodies, relationships, and shared spaces?
🌿 What role does grief play in unlearning internalized patterns of separation and dominance?
🌿 How can collective witnessing nurture the capacity to move—gently, honestly, together—toward healing and systemic transformation?

Her current focus is on the integration of spiritual practice, deep inner transformation, and healing systemic oppression.
