Guided Practice
On this day we honor our voices, our emotions and our journey. With the breath of the Ancestors we listen, we feel, we sing.
Sarah Cruse has come to art to heal, to know herself, and the worlds that abound. She identifies as a being of sound, a poet, and a listener. She is an emotive being that is ripe for the moment, and the stream of emergence that flows.
Sarah’s journey into discovering the voice within her began with feeling feelings, and letting her feelings talk through sound. She found a level of vulnerability and authenticity that was healing, and noticeably patterned out into other areas of her life. Sarah welcomes any opportunity to play in the world of feelings and sounds together. She is grateful to have the opportunity to be with you all and create something new.

Listen to the full 28 Day Meditation for Black Liberation playlist made by Mark Gutierrez on Spotify.
D’Angelo’s third album, Black Messiah, centers the discussion of Black Liberation in the 21st century. But the lyrics of “The Charade,” in particular, express the emotions so many people have felt in the last 20 years: that after so much work, so much organizing and fighting for rights, we’re left with a system that now masks as cured while continuing to perpetrate the same crimes against Black people. For D’Angelo, the fight for liberation is far from over, but very soon the people will see through the facade and rise again.
