Radhika Sharma (they/she) is a Crown Heights-based facilitator, designer, and educator working towards food sovereignty. In their work, they prioritize interdependence and the beings our dominant system marginalizes. They are currently building a cooperatively-owned food guild of BIPOC-owned food businesses based in Central Brooklyn. They follow Zen Buddhist practices to make sense of life and enjoy holding space in community.
An offering of space to engage with each element (fire, water, earth, air) through walking meditations. Participants will then record their discoveries and reflections, and share their realizations with the group. This time is meant to give participants permission to slow down and focus on how their senses engage nature through the elemental lenses via a guided walking meditation that includes specific attention practices. As participants develop a more nuanced and juicy understanding of how they relate with their elements, they are allowed to capture their thoughts through observational notes, drawings, poetry, etc. in their notebooks. We will then reconvene to share our findings through a semi-guided discussion to build collective understandings before closing out.
In case of inclement weather, this program will be rescheduled to May 4th
