This ancestor activation practice honors the felt but unseen forces that surround us as well as comprise the flesh and bones of our bodies. How do our cells hold the memory and wisdom of our bloodlines? How can we move as though we are merely a vessel for the continued expression of our beloved, protective, yet ever present distant distant distant distant ancestors? This group embodiment practice invites awakening, connection, healing, and re-membering through visualization, breathwork, dynamic guided solo and partner movement. All levels of movement and ability welcome.
Summer Minerva is a filmmaker, performer, writer, educator, mover, and shaker. She has spent the last few years reconnecting with her southern Italian bloodlines by way of queerness, witchyness, music, dance, and general cunty goddess behavior. Her musings can most readily be accessed on her substack @ summerminerva.substack.com.
Group embodiment transitions into a DJ set with Inanna, another talented local witch whose first encounter with dance practice was deep in the woods. Their musical interests reach far beyond their junglist roots. Off the dancefloor they write fiction, work in energy policy, and organize with the Democratic Socialists of America.
