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

return to turtle island

after much time by the red sea & nile & sensory memory – atlantic waters & sand & stone & colours draw me back

colours subtle & vibrant all at once – sand & waters & air cool yet welcoming – the silence settles me from within

there is something of this place that holds me – hands & feet know this place too – i am made of many places it seems
