Being home on this earth is your birthright.
Your Motherland is beneath your feet.
We deeply believe that when we are ALL consciously home together on this earth,
we will heal the planet, our human family, and ourselves.
With products, workshops, sessions, and events our mission is to uplift people to
Be home wherever you are
by how you
To think more mindfully – in ways that are sacralizing and intercultural
To move more primally – in ways that are vitalizing and sovereign
To eat more indigenously – in ways that are based in ancestral nutritional wisdom
To dress more regeneratively – in ways that root flyness
To live more systematically – in ways that are sustainable and resilient
Sacralizing Intercultural Mindfulness
There’s a deep wisdom in what’s common to us all. The experience we all had being created in the womb. Our common Black ancestry. The dark rich soil that nourishes our nourishment. The dark mysterious cosmos that holds so many of our deepest aspirations.
“Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing,
there is a field. I’ll meet you there.”
~Rumi
When we settle into something that brings wholeness, we connect to a Source consciousness that is present always. Sacralizing intercultural mindfulness supports this process with techniques nurtured by masters studies in women’s spirituality and transpersonal psychology, direct tutelage from the voice of the Wise Woman Tradition: Susun Weed, and a lifetime of reflection on the Nguzo Saba – the seven principles of the Kwanzaa celebration.
Primal Embodi-Movement
The intent is to reawaken aliveness in the body through movement that connects us with nature and brings together the body as a whole.
Lev has always gravitated to martial arts – specifically Capoeira Angola as well as the energetic arts such a chi gong and yoga. As a body worker, Lev has insight into movement as a healing practice. Ultimately his goal is to build sovereignty within his body through his movement practice and to support others to empower themselves through movement that lessens their reliance on others to maintain their full movement potential.
Lev has certifications and training in Massage Therapy, Personal Training, Thai BodyWork, the movement modality True Body Intelligence, the Kemetic yoga and meditation practice Ka’at Ibi, and the Wim Holf breathing technique, and Reiki energy work – level 3.
Ancestral Nutritional Wisdom
Our indigenous ancestors had a intergenerationally established wisdom to the way that they nourished themselves. When they strayed from this wisdom, their health suffered. In 1930, Dr. Weston A Price traveled the world documenting people who lived primarily off of the land by which they lived (which is what we mean by the relatively defined abstract word: indigenous). He found that those people, when following their traditional diets, had wide faces, joyful demeanors, and straight healthy teeth with little to no cavities. Despite many of them not having dentists or even oral care in the ways that we understand it. Dr. Price took their food back to his labs and noticed that, despite being widely different in their presentation, the foods had a common nutritional profile and fundamental principles around preparation. This work has been continued with the Weston A Price foundation. We have studied, implemented, and continued to refine this work and love to share the information but also, of course, the absolutely DELICIOUS food!
Regeneratively Rooting Flyness
Being fly isn’t about following trends, an effort to impress, or even to look beautiful by perceptions that have been seeded within from external sources. It’s an unveiling regenerative relationship with self that amplifies well being on every level. Regenerating the body by the cut of the fabric and its support of organic integral movement. Regenerating the microbiome and ever increasingly the earth by the ingredients of the materials themselves. Regenerating the Being even, by the patterns and colors of the piece and what quality of character it evokes in one’s stance – royal? joyful? connected? We think about all this and more when offering work under this theme.
Sustainably Resilient Systems
The efficiency of systems opens up a world of possibilities. These systems can be as humble as methods and tools for bathing and washing dishes that doesn’t require many or any purchases beyond one’s bioregion or as revolutionary as technologies that can be made with simple tools found easily to clean up and transform generations of trash. And sometimes the systems are communal and ancient, like the socioeconomic systems that has been reawakened by the Mijiikenda people of Kenya that pools commitments for group bartering as opposed to one on one bartering or national currency. There are many systems like these and others that we are continuing to discover, create, and implement that we are so excited to share with you in person and online.
