natalie abdou I give thanks to the various lands that are a part of my lineage and being, that care and sustain me daily and the first peoples of these places and spaces – Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishnabeg, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee and the Wendat (Southern Ontario) Mi’kmaq (Nova Scotia), Ohlone (California) & Nubian, Kemet (Egypt). I am a community facilitator, artist, life-long learner, earth-tender and creative soul. I love to learn alongside others for the purpose of community creation and transformation. I have spent the last 15 years connecting and collaborating with diverse communities in North America and Egypt, co-creating learning environments that are founded upon shared values of diversity, love, respect, creativity and self-empowerment – embracing a vision of solidarity, social justice and change from the inside-out. I see participatory learning, the arts and embodied wisdom practices as portals of transformative capacity, providing space for our souls to dance, breathe and unleash the deep wisdom that resides within, in service of personal, collective and systemic transformation. Alongside this, my personal journey of spirituality and creative expression weaves within it the themes of personal and ancestral healing alongside collective and paradigm shifting visions. I am currently collaborating with Bloom Consulting (Toronto), Branch Out Theatre (Toronto), the Coady International Institute (Antigonsh, N.S.), Interplay (Oakland, CA) and va

This is an original seed

a water ritual

in gratitude to my ancestors

and the abundance of the gift

of being an expression of my lineage

in this time…

…the love of a lineage in blossom

 

i am reminded

that they are always here with me

and so i am in many ways

a conduit of what wants to be shared

through me…

…i am never creating alone

 

amidst  the ebbs & flows of this life journey

i am born of remarkable abundance & generosity & love

it is my birth right…

this support & divine guidance…

…i ground & draw from this well
