Tending to the roots

Ellen Melville Centre

With a new date in June, this workshop will be about sharing tools and practices to connect with our different cultures and heritage.

Resistance must therefore focus on connecting. Connecting with our body, mind, community, history and the environment - Guilaine KinouaniIn our lives we experience different disruptions to our sense of connection caused by migration, moving from a rural area to the city and movement away from family, community and ways of being that are familiar to us. In the late 1990s, Professor Veronica Navarrete Vivero coined the term cultural homelessness to describe the ongoing tension to ‘feel at home’ for those whose identities intersect two cultures or more including migrants and their children or third culture kids. Third culture kids are individuals who grow up or are raised in a culture that is different from their parents. There are various ways to cultivate and increase our sense of belonging, and in this 2.5 hour interactive workshop we’ll be sharing a mapping practice that will support you in your journey home, however you define it. Hosted online, this second workshop of the Afro-salon series is open to anyone who is seeking to connect with their cultural heritage. Come ready to hear stories, share stories and get creative!The zoom link will be sent to participants closer to the date.
