take flight!
Because you love Audre Lorde…
Because you want to start the New Year off with your spirit in shape and a roadmap to follow…
Because “mother” is the most complicated word you have ever heard
Because you are craving a space of supportive women of color to continue the journey of healing that you are on…
MOTHER OURSELVES BOOTCAMP is an opportunity to use Audre Lorde’s wisdom to unpack our ideas about mothering and to consciously address internalized racism, sexism, homophobia and ableism with huge, miraculous transformative love. MOTHER OURSELVES BOOTCAMP (all caps!!! 
is also major milestone/outcome/accountability point in Lex’s years of research on Audre Lorde’s concept that “We can learn to mother ourselves,” and grows out of working with Zachari on the MotherOurselves workshop for Gumbo Yaya.
is also major milestone/outcome/accountability point in Lex’s years of research on Audre Lorde’s concept that “We can learn to mother ourselves,” and grows out of working with Zachari on the MotherOurselves workshop for Gumbo Yaya.I invite you and women of color who you know and love to participate in a weekend-long (Friday evening to Sunday afternoon) sustainable intensive which will include poetic activities, interactive movement and dance, sharing, support and transformation on a topic that impacts so many of us so deeply…the concept of mothering in our society. It will also be the release of a limited edition poster of the Mother Ourselves Manifesta, which distills Audre Lorde’s advice into an everyday recitable reminder to mother ourselves and the Mother Ourselves Manual full of activities and quotations about mothering ourselves. The Bootcamp will also be followed up by online chat MotherOurselves Check-Ins and podcasts all year long.
It would be an honor if you could participate in this revolutionary space!
