SEAS OF MEMORY: The Magic of Working with Plantcestors with Star Feliz

Plants are our ancestors too. Yet, the spell of colonialism has us feeling disconnected to the rivers of memory that flow through our very being. With plant spirit medicine, magic, and land stewardship we can design our very own powerful rituals to create relationships with the deep wells of memory available to us. Topics covered in this workshop will be the nature of memory through a lens of decoloniality, highlighted plantcestors and their spiritual-medicinal personalities, and practical magical rituals to try with your plantcestors. You will feel empowered to get playful and build a deeper connection to the sea of magic that’s surrounding you! No materials or prior experience is needed for this workshop. I use the definition of Plantcestor created by Layla Kristy Feghali, founder of River Rose Re-membrance, who coined and popularized the term.

Star Feliz (b. 1992, New York, NY, Lenapehoking) is an interdisciplinary artist and medicine person with roots in Ayiti, aka Dominican Republic. Entangled across the mediums of sculptural installation, time based media, and book forms, their work explores earth-based pathways for disarming apparatuses of violence and their cycles of trauma. After almost 10 years of studying and practicing community based herbalism, Star is currently sharing their medicine under the self-started project of Botánica Cimarrón. Their formulas are unique stories that weave together the past, present, and future of Caribbean folk healing to bring living systems back into alignment. Under the moniker of Priestusssy they create experimental devotional music.
