Arisika Razak and Rachel Bagby
Embodying Our Wholeness with Ritual, Guided Imagery, Movement & Voice
About This Session
The multilayered challenges and uncertainties of these times are fierce. What equally potent practices can help us honor and re-member the past, fully embrace the present, and radically re-vision our future? How do we create and support resilience in the face of persistent attacks on our persons, our bodies, and our communities? Join vocal artist and author Rachel Bagby and professor, midwife, and spiritual dancer Arisika Razak in this embodied healing session. We’ll engage voice blessings, ritual, guided imagery, and meditative movement as powerful containers for the gifts of our Black and Buddhist lineages. We’ll braid together the wisdom of our ancestors, the healing powers of our hearts, and the liberation we took birth for.

Thank you for the blessing and gift of the life ritual. I am Ann Simon. I was in break out room 28. We wanted to know would it be possible to exchange contact details.. Sue Johnson was also in my group, as was a lady based in Toronto..Blessings to All….
Indigenous peoples were forced to leave their ancestral lands, including the Osage, Caddo and Quapaw Nations with ties to Northwest Arkansas. a portion of the Trail of Tears runs through here and that the Cherokee, Choctaw, Muscogee (Creek), Chickasaw and Seminole Nations passed through what is now Arkansas during this forced removal.

I listened later as I was working earlier. This was a lovely experience. Even in my own home I felt connected. Thank you for your time and grace.
When I watched the beginning of this session and people began to speak & call on the ancestors from which the land they came from, the sound was indescribable. It was encapsulating. I envisioned energies gently moving as if attracted to the singing & the energies seemed to be welcoming the singing and the calling of them. My name is Jana, in MD, but born and raised in Mobile, Al, the place of the last arrived slave ship.
I say thank you both sharing your fine gifts of beauty calling as you did the ancestors from all the kingdoms and holding the space in such a graceful and powerful way. I am a South African living in London and have a real sense of love- connectivity to all who have shared this SoulSpace.
This was powerful. And came just at the right time, meaning the time my soul needed it, even as I prepared dinner for my children while participating in this nourishing ritual. Thank you. My word is rejoice.
This was beautiful and healing beyond words. Thank you, thank you. A barred owl flew overhead as I listened to everyone’s voices saying their words. My word is release – letting go of all we can hold so tightly, letting things flow through us, keeping ourselves flow with life. Thank you.
Forgot to add I am on Penobscot land.
