#Repost @naimainfinity: What a powerful gathering last weekend with the Sacred Survival Sisterhood at WILDSEED, merging our warrior and healer selves under the beautiful guiding light of Survival Arts in collaboration with Butikaryo mga Babae. . Grateful for every moment we created~ a chance to grow our courage, remember our resilience, and practice protecting what we love with ferocity. We trained hard, laughed harder, made a beautiful altar, prepared and enjoyed delicious food, communed with the land, and strengthened sisterhoods. . Check out JL and Jamie's pages for ways to get involved! We hope to do this again! . @survivalarts @jlcreator #WILDSEEDcommunity #SisterhoodisSacred #SurvivalArts https://www.instagram.com/p/BwBEoEJhXUD/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1h6wano0qd8dy

Repost @naimainfinity: IndiGenius Survival Arts Womxn's Circle was both a healing and training retreat, where we worked to decolonize and protect our bodies, while healing through the indigenous warrior arts. The training was rooted in Pekiti Tirsia Kali, a revolutionary Pilipino Fighting Arts that was used for self-preservation in the face of colonization. . It struck me learning about how Pilipinos defended themselves against Spanish and U.S. imperial forces using their bodies, blades, and ritual; similar to how enslaved Africans in Haiti were able to defeat the indomitable French army with machetes because of a pact with Spirit. . After 5 laps and 200 squats and mad repetitions of strikes and blocks, we laid on the floor and went on an inner journey, awakening to energies inside of us and doing some deep work connecting our ancestors! . We are in this together, rising in solidarity for all that is to come! #revolutionready .
