Cool Communities
While The Hidden Current is coming into flow, here are some of the communities that I engage with, they give me inspiration, guidance, kinship, and wisdom.
May they serve you well.

Where we come together to explore beyond ultimate truths, binary thinking, and individual awakening while in deep reverence of the beauty, complexity, pain, and great mystery that weave the infinite cycles of existence.

Rooted Global Village creates spaces where meaningful connections flourish, enabling individuals and communities to build bridges across divides and foster a new social paradigm. What makes Rooted unique is our focus on the deeply relational work necessary to uncover and shift the internal barriers that prevent authentic engagement. By prioritizing this transformative inner and interpersonal work, we cultivate an environment where personal and collective growth is nurtured, allowing us to navigate complexities and embrace the full potential of human connection.
Rooted envisions a world where relational trust, reciprocity, and mutual regard shape the foundation of collective transformation.

At a time when contemporary politics feels stuck, when white modernity seems unable to sustain its production of dissociated individual citizen-subjects, ten is a collective experiment within the cracks of the usual. A village of emerging gestures and practices inspired by posthumanist, Yoruba indigenous, and postactivist instigations. A gathering without a name, without a face – not within the designated spaces of the public to speak truth to power, but at the edges of the familiar, in the dungeons of abjection, to rehearse new possibilities.

A Course on the Imaginal: Cultivating the Visionary Self is a pedagogy of interiority.
Through creative somatics and a decolonial framework, we bring bodily awareness to our imagination practice. We learn to attune the body and focus the attentional system by fortifying the autonomic nervous system, thereby helping to heal the mind/body split imposed by colonial modernity. We center our living wholeness. We activate wakeful dreaming and use creative tools to do the vital work of bodily, energetic, ancestral, and future generational tending needed in these times.
