Decolonized History of Divine Wisdom

RSVP

As Dr. John Henrik Clarke said, “A people’s relationship to their heritage is the same as the relationship of a child to its mother.” This workshop is a call to return to the Mother — to our roots, our wisdom, and our rightful place in the spiritual lineage of humanity. Through the lens of ancient civilizations like Kemet, the Indus Valley, and the Toltec, we’ll explore what it truly means to be spiritual, not religious. This distinction is key: while religion often comes with dogma and colonized frameworks, spirituality invites direct connection to the divine, rooted in ancestral memory and natural law.

Our goal is to reconnect with our inner knowing passed down through sacred systems of order, harmony, and cosmic balance. Through a presentation, journaling, and discussion, we'll unpack hidden histories. We’ll also explore the shared spiritual technologies of ancient cultures. These practices, once stripped of colonial filters, reveal an ancestral system of liberation that has been revealed to us all.

By the end of this workshop this wisdom will provide insight to any relationship you are struggling with.

Wordplay: Creative Writing

Join us on a monthly basis for group exercises, solo reflections and big dreaming at Wordplay, a creative writing workshop brought to you by Treats.. This late morning to early afternoon session is a reclamation of words as a tool for delight.  For generations, we have used words to share stories, express ourselves and build worlds we can only imagine. But something that’s been co-opted in the name of logistics, used at work to “promote synergy” and occasionally disappears all together with the use of emojis has lost a bit of its sparkle in our everyday practice.  Meet us in the Zen Den to re-discover the joy and healthy challenge of dancing with language in community. No experience necessary! Expect an easy, open atmosphere and enjoy a mocktail on us upon arrival. All supplies will be provided.
