The arc and intention of the course is to dive into themes of healing justice, disability justice, collective liberation and looking to our personal lineages of healing, and our ancestors as a compass. The guiding question we will explore, how can we heal the harms and impact of colonialism, capitalism, white supremacy culture, ableism, the Medical indsutrial Complex etc. And how can we co-create different systems of care and support, rooted in love and liberation for our communities?
Each course will work with an ancestor, a modern day inspiration and a tool of resilience.
Harriet Tubman will light the way for the entire course as she points us to the North Star of Liberation reminding us that "My People Are Free". Our responsibility is to shift our world & remind ourselves to acknowledge and embody our liberation every day. As someone with epilepsy her special gift enabled her to see into the future. Her "disability" was her gift to the world. May we remember our uniqueness is a gift to our community.
