The Journey of ReOrientation: A Parable of NOW is a map, an oracle and a ritual to right our way. We belong here, on this road, in a time like no other, guided by whispers from the ancients, and the newly arrived spirits…the clearing of this path requires great tears, great rest, great laughter, and a remembering that the medicine for this moment is in our bones. Come be with us if it is where you need to be….we will be here calling forward our collective Ancestral Intelligence.

The Journey of ReOrientation: A Parable of NOW is part of a multi year project titled, “(may there be) Good Atmosphere Between Us: The Parables of Now.”

This multi-year ritual performance project is grounded in community stories, collective rituals and the re telling of African and Indigenous mythologies, Bible verses and Black feminist invocations, guided by the core question, “How do we activate our collective ancestral wisdom and spirit to survive, adapt, and heal from climate catastrophe and global political chaos in the Anthropocene.

These parables will be performed anywhere they are needed and called for over the next four years or for as long as you deem them necessary.
