Join Khadijah Kysia and Rhonda Wheatley for this hands-on workshop exploring and strengthening resilience—our brilliance, our ability to make a way out of no way, and our capacity for self-renewal, body, mind, and spirit. Khadijah, a Doctor of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine, provides an interactive primer on herbs involving taste and touch. Rhonda, a multimedia artist and energy worker, shares tools and practices for connecting with ancestors, often a source of our resilience; for connecting with the earth; balancing our energies; and calling forth our hidden gifts. She facilitates a guided meditation, discusses crystals, consults the tarot, and provides writing exercises. Bring a journal and an open mind. You are welcome to participate at your level of comfort.
Resilience & Renewal: Connecting with the Earth, the Ancestors, and Your Hidden Gifts is presented as part of Healing Centered Practices, a series of free, customized healing workshops held in conjunction with Art Design Chicago projects. Activities offered during each workshop range from guided meditations and fire rituals to storytelling and herbalism primers. The objective of Healing Centered Practices is to help audiences connect to exhibitions on deeper levels while helping Chicago cultural institutions strengthen their relationships with their audiences. Healing Centered Practices is organized by 6018North, Red Line Service, and artist Rhonda Wheatley.
This session is presented in conjunction with South Side Community Art Center’s exhibition, ReSOURCE: Art and Resourcefulness in Black Chicago.
