Salabat (Ginger tea): A 12 Week Virtual Gathering for Asian, Pacific Islander, and Desi-American (APIDA) Women

in DC, Maryland, or Virginia (DMV)

​

 

What it is:

​Salabat is a place to connect with ourselves, our cultures, and the collective. A space for witnessing and naming the impact of harmful systems, while also acknowledging that we are more than our trauma. By exploring both our roots and imagining a liberated future, we can re-remember who we are and experience hope even in the midst of tragedy.

​​

This gathering will be a space to:

​1) give and receive support around intersectional identities and lived experiences of and with fellow APIDA women,

2) experiment with authentic connections to self, nature, culture, and community, and

3) both process the impact of systemic oppression and imagine radical healing while living and working in these arduous times.

​​​​

We will do so through creating and sharing testimonios which are "verbal journ[ies]...to reveal the racial, classed, gendered, and nativist injustices...as a means of healing, empowerment, and advocacy" (Cervantes, A. (2020). Liberation Psychology: Theory, Method, Practice, and Social Justice. American Psychological Association. [http://dx.doi.org/10.1037/0000198-000]).

​

Also, the mind-body-spirit connection will be honored through somatics, ritual, and play.
