Our Opening Ceremony - Virtual Place and Kin-Making
Tending the Roots, more than ever, is an exploration of virtual place-making and the co-creative energies we bring to spaces, unfolding in real time, and much bigger than any of us individually.
We invited you to come in, take your shoes off, hang your jacket, and get acquainted with this place during our opening ceremony.
How we exist in this virtual place is rich with meaning for us - and we want you, as our guest, to co-imagine the unfolding.
Karine Bell makes her home with her two kids, her partner and a dog.
She’s a somatics teacher and abolitionist, dedicated to embodied trauma
alchemy. A bi-cultural black woman, she’s also a culturally reflexive anthropologist exploring the intersection of where our bodies/psyches/experiences meet our collective histories.
She believes in the healing made possible at the personal and collective level by the work we do through transforming experience in our bodies today. She combines continued study in somatics with studies in depth psychology with a focus on community, liberation, indigenous and eco-psychologies at Pacifica.
The Rooted Global Village Co-Dreaming Team is made up of 6 folks. Karine Bell, Mickey Vranic, Oceana Sawyer, Weena Pauly-Tarr, Liz Deligio, & Cliff Berrien.
