LOVE FROM COMMUNITY

LOVE FROM COMMUNITY ✮⋆˙
“There was a deep sense of community even after having just met folks.”
“There were feelings of kindredness and belonging and sacred community that were so sweet and fed my soul in ways I didn’t realize I needed. I left feeling just so full and I want to continue being in the mix.”
-Jean Moore
“To be moved to action by the failures of current imperial systems calls for an investment in the radical work of imaging better worlds.”
“Common Healing has been such a sweet container for this work by creating spaces for learning, sharing, and growing together as a collective. Common Healing holds its communities so tenderly as we navigate the grief of existing in systems that live out of sync with the land and the momentum of taking action to remedy it. I am so grateful to have been building with Common Healing for the last few years. It has pushed me to be more imaginative in what I see as possible for our liberation and has provided me with so much hope and excitement for the future we are all co-creating”
-Taylor Rae
“Common Healing has opened a space for deeper thinking, creating, and action around my role in a liberatory and community ecosystem.”
“Through our work together, I have experienced so beautifully what it is for my work as a maker of nourishment and medicine to be received and exalted in a space of collective tending, dreaming, and building. Our collaborations have always felt alive and animated with possibility and wisdom.”
-Daniela Rivero
Join Our Group Trips
Step into a container of nourishment that doesn’t just begin when you depart. From the moment you book, you’ll be held by your Trip Navigator(s), someone with a deep connection to the story you’ll immerse in and the place(s) you’ll visit.
From the trip WhatsApp group to pre-departure Town Hall meetings…
You’ll connect with fellow travelers long before you arrive. You’ll receive air travel tips as well as recommended reading and media to orient you to the political and historic context you’re arriving in. If you want to extend your stay outside of our container, we can help with that.
After months of preparation, you finally begin your journey. You’ll be immersed in a conceptual and cultural experience that broadens your horizons and builds your relationship to the land you’re walking on and local culture keepers. In this healing travel experience, there will be ritual, ceremony, time for rest, and good food. The locals will put you on to what they’re doing, keeping us *way* off the beaten tourist path and seeding relationships you’ll have long after you return home.

TRAVEL FOR CULTURE SHAPERS ✳
TRAVEL FOR CULTURE SHAPERS ✳
We are not separate.
Join an international network of culture keepers who seek to be in right relationship with one another. Our Group Trips are designed to dissolve illusions of separation to bring humanity back in sync with the ancient wisdom of nature in modern times.
HEY WORLD-BUILDER!
I’m Analise
As a cooperative guide and storyteller, I curate these group trips to provide you with conscious travel experiences that go deeper by connecting you to the land and the people of the place.
I engage with image making, both moving and still, writing, collage, and sound to make sense of existence and preserve process. My studies brought me into consciousness as I explored Black feminism, healing, economic alternatives to capitalism, energy work, Pan-Africanism, revolutionary struggle, land stewardship, and the arts for freedom. All of these pursuits power my work in the world and inform my commitments when I travel.
Go from disillusioned to connected and confident in our collective world-making power!
YOUR TRANSFORMATION AWAITS
☾
YOUR TRANSFORMATION AWAITS ☾
-
We don’t have to start from scratch. We have so much ancestral and communal wisdom we can tap into as we imagine and build healing and just futures. As we travel, it’s important to consider where we come from, what we’re bringing, and the impact on people and place in whatever contexts we visit.
-
We are not separate. Disconnected? Maybe but we’ve been integrated before. And so, we recall to reconnect to ourselves and nature and our people with the help of spirit-led intentional travel.
-
We stand in solidarity as a practice with all colonized people. Our experiences aim to shift power and resources into the hands of people who’ve historically been extracted from. We support claiming autonomy from oppressive structures, even if we might only get a taste in retreat (for now). We’re seeing to believe to create.
You are meant to be a part of this collective shapeshifting and awakening.
The future depends on it. We each have our own unique place in the larger interconnectedness of life. Join one of our Group Trips and explore your role in participatory world-building through a curated, cultural immersion.
