LAYLA K. FEGHALI on Borderless Remembrance /163

Amidst a global swell of change, we are taking the cue to slow down where we can this week and lean back into the healing arms of our community, seek loving accountability rather than fragmentation, and ground ourselves in the great wisdom of this Earth. In this timely work, we find particular resonance and resource in our “plantcestors” (plant ancestors) — the leafy and thorned ones that have co-evolved alongside us humans, digesting the patterns of the stars and sky, mingling with pollinators and soil-dwellers, and giving life to material creation itself. Unfurling from our tender conversation with this week’s guest, ancestral re-membrance practitioner, medicine maker, storyteller, and archivist Layla K. Feghali, we turn to our beloved flora to aid in our collective restoration, the revival of our ancestral ways, the reclamation of earthly kind, and the great global project of healing.
