We are honoured to be collaborating with Women are the Medicine, who are soon to be launching a Podcast with Miche Fabre Lewin and her HeArt Centred Liberation work. Co- founder Nasreen El- Mariesh explores the genesis and context of Miche’s liberation work focussing on white-bodied people. Working through a sequence of justice practices with art and ritual we are addressing and acknowledging white body supremacy as part of a commitment to ending racism.
Within the granite and moorland energies of Karuna Dartmoor, during 2024 & 2025, Miche offered 2 Retreats for white-bodied kin committed to ending racism by addressing white body supremacy. Within a small group and in generous witness of each other, all were introduced to an ecology of justice practices based in artful, earth-centred processes to deepen into inner, self-reflection in service of collective liberation.
Tasting Ubuntu is a pioneering arts-based Research Residency between Living Justice, the Centre for the Study of the Afterlife of Violence and the Reparative Quest (AVReQ), and the Centre for Sustainability Transitions (CST) at Stellenbosch University. Engaging with a research community of students, artists, curators, academics, researchers, food growers, local residents, not-for-profit and government representatives we together explored the connections between food sovereignty and racial justice. Through a sequence of convivial food rituals, listening Circles and artful inquiry we the residency ethos is in respect and recognition of the Southern African relational philosophies of Ubuntu and Ukama.
In partnership with Be the Earth in February 2025, Courage & Kinship launched Boschendal’s BE Hive Cape Winelands with a transformative arts-based workshop exploring racial justice and kinship. Working with a range of justice practices using heart-centred listening practices with earth-based ritual processes this day was an encouragement to build trust, resilience and accountability towards collective liberation.
