mula sa binhi – creation myth

“A person without a myth is a person without a home.”
Sharon Blackie, Medicine Stories

Mula Sa Binhi // From the Seed

What place are you?

Mula Sa Binhi is a practice in ethnoautobiographical mythweaving to coalesce your creation story. Through guided meditation, plantcestral poetics, and altar building, we will thread your unique tapestry of ancestry, imagination, earth memory, cosmos, community, and dreams. We may explore chosen and genealogical ancestors, plantcestors, place-based and mixed lineages, grief and belonging.

Choose this container for your mythopoetic tatu or hold storywork-only session(s).

mythopoetic tatu

Ethnoautobiography is the practice of re-membering connection to “ancestors, myths, nature, place, history, storytelling, spirituality, community, and dreams” to be whole and satiated against the backdrop of extractive culture that gorges through consumption to fill emptiness.
Manang Strobel, Back From the Crocodiles Belly

the myth of crys – a journey from the mountain to the sea, re-membering medicine of the Cape Verdien archipelago (machine)

the myth of haven – tangled roots, settling in the body, creation space for interwoven fugitive futures (machine and handpoke self-ceremony, from below top surgery scars to around navel)

the myth of korrine – memory in flight, transcestral dance, Hatian shell of liberation (handpoke)

“Indigenous peoples are those who have creation stories, not colonization stories, about how [they] came to be in a particular place – indeed how [they] came to be a place”
Tuck and Yang, Decolonization is Not a Metaphor
