Ecology of Activism
A fundraiser for Wings for hope in partnership with Espacio Manzana
Join us for a profound, two-day online summit where eight powerful guides—thought leaders, speakers, and medicine women—come together to lead us in practices for deep healing and transformation. They are generously offering their time, wisdom, and energy to guide us through somatic care, nervous system regulation, breathwork, shadow work, and laughter therapy.
The participation in the summit will be donation based to raise funds for amputee children from Lebanon & Gaza. Funds will go to Wings for Hope in partnership with Meet & Map.
Every donation brings hope, dignity, and a chance at a new life for two kids.
A Call to Solidarity & Healing together
In a world shaken by shadows—war, displacement, and loss—many in the diaspora feel powerless, overwhelmed, and numb
But as Carl Jung reminds us, “In the darkness, there is light waiting to be born.”
The shadows we carry—grief, numbness, fear & unsafety—are not meant to consume us. They are opportunities to rise, to transform.
By acknowledging our darkest parts, we can bring light to them, and in doing so, we liberate ourselves and each other.
At the heart of this journey lies Al-Tasleem, the art of surrender, not as a form of resignation but as a conscious shift within.
Surrender is not a passive act; it is an invitation to align with a higher power and the unseen rhythms of the universe, trusting that even in the face of profound adversity, transformation is possible. This softening into life’s challenges doesn’t weaken us; it empowers us, grounding us in a peaceful resolve that transcends the ego’s need for control.
Schedule
Your Experience, On Your Time
Each session will be recorded, so you can revisit and deepen your experience at your own pace, long after the summit concludes. This way, the teachings and practices will stay with you as lasting sources of strength and guidance.

In Shamanism, Earth and nature serve as our primary guides. Just as seasonal cycles symbolize constant change and transformation, human beings go through cycles of dismembering (small deaths) in order to remember another piece of the infinite puzzle of consciousness exploring itself through us. The ongoing dance of Life & Death.

In these heavy times of injustice and war, within systems that thrive on our isolation and despair, coming back to our humanity becomes an act of resistance. Being a human means being a part of the Collective. As a dance therapist, I believe that moving in Community and Connection is a vital resource to help us come back to our roots, feel our feet on the ground, and remember that we belong together, and together we shall rise.
