Colonized imaginations cannot dream up liberated worlds.
- Austen Smith
It is nearly impossible to heal while experiencing spatial disruption via ancestral land theft, homelessness, housing insecurity, or threats of eviction or displacement. Black, Brown, and Indigenous people disproportionality experience spatial disruption, which means our creative energy is often spent on surviving in the present moment. This makes thinking, planning, or dreaming beyond the next paycheck extremely challenging. Our Lunar Intelligence sits firmly at the intersection of healing the imagination and advocating for spatially just futures. Everyone deserves the time, space, and resources to dream.
Healing the imagination...
ImaginationDoulas is an OLi project working to reframe how we relate to the imagination. ImaginationDoulas prioritizes helping spirit-led creatives, educators, and healers to identify, unpack, and dream beyond barriers. ImaginationDoulas expands imaginations beyond the limitations of white supremacy, using divination, ancestral reverence, and dreamwork to bring radical ideas to form.
Building spatially just futures...
Our Lunar Intelligence prioritizes spatial justice by providing grassroots, state/local, and federal organizations with trauma-informed and culturally attuned guidance, strategic dreaming ceremonies, program design and evaluation, community participatory research, and training on housing policy, racial equity, and gender inclusivity.
