STIRRING THE FREEDOM WATERS

Join freedom-working souls from around the world as Dr. Jaiya John guides us through a sacred way of gathering, in reciprocity, mutuality, integrity, liberated voice, collective wisdom, and honoring our Indigenous origins and ancestry.

Humanity is experiencing an eruptive consequence of centuries of pandemic colonizing harm. Now is the time for us to stay in the soul garden, draw deeply from the cultural marrow of our divine assignment, and fashion our fervent way forward to a sacred way of being together.

STIRRING THE FREEDOM WATERS is part poetry reading, part conversation, seminar, and teaching, and part heart and soul massage. Come drink the soul water, refresh your weariness, feel the healing medicine of collective communion, and bring your vital rivers to flow again.

OUR FLOW:

• Jaiya usually begins with libations, an African spiritual tradition honoring our ancestors and those we Love who have changed to Light.

• This is followed by an invitation for sacred Indigenous song blessing from anyone present.

• After this, Jaiya moves us into a sacred poetry reading from his published and unpublished work. As a freedom worker, Jaiya’s writings do not avoid addressing oppressive struggle in the world, but instead directly confront it with Love’s unwavering standard. No spiritual bypassing. Organic, mystic medicine fresh from the spirit garden to nourish your heart, soul, and life divinely.

• Depending on how Spirit leads us, and time flow, we receive brief voluntary poetry offerings from a few souls and we also weave heart-communion through Q&A conversation about all things poetry, writing, publishing, creativity, artistic independence and sovereignty, and freedom work in the context of our current human condition.

• We like to end with another voluntary sacred song offering or poem.
  
  These gatherings are not conventional scripted, linear lectures. They are wild things and soulfully free.
