About this Event

~ Please note: These sessions are open to People of Colour only ~


Peaks of Colour's Soma Sessions are monthly spaces that invite global majority communities to deepen their connection with themselves, each other and the land.

Set in the Peak District, these informal and intimate sessions will offer an introduction to embodied and nature-allied practices that can assist in our healing from gendered and racialised trauma.

A space of repetition as Black Feminist practice (Foluke Taylor), and rehearsal as an abolitionist priority (Ruth Wilson Gilmore), Soma Sessions will support us to build capacity and resilience for a future in which the boundaries between our human bodies and our more-than-human landscapes are decomposed.


Session #10: Ancestral Venerations w Tamsin Alamayah

In our final Soma Sessions of the year Tamsin will guide us to remember that we are never walking our revolutionary paths alone. A celebration of ancestral reclamation, we will venerate those that came before us by gently tending to the colonial wounds held within our bodies, society and the earth. Through herbal tea meditations, somatic practices, movement, alter making and a community meal, we will experience practices that support us to come home to our lineage and reveal ancestral medicine that can help us tend to generational pain.
