Methodologies

Exploring the postures, patterns, and practices that support community-led health and healing. 

Our long-term strategy relies on us developing frameworks and curricula, building embodied capacities, and documenting the strategies that will support us to build life-affirming infrastructures in service of community-led health and healing.

Our programmes and projects are seedlings. Experiments in relational infrastructure that we hope outgrow us and take root. We feature them here to help document, archive, and share our progress. 

These experiments put yoga and herbalism in direct proximity to research and workplace policy development – understanding that the systems we need to enable us all to be well will come via divergent, and sometimes counterintuitive, pathways.

Deaths by Welfare

Explore the the Deaths by Welfare Project timeline, podcasts, resources, and videos and learn more about the book No More Deaths by Welfare, published October 2026.

No More Deaths by Welfare confronts a system that’s violent by design and asks what could be possible if we designed differently. What if we raised the bar from a threadbare safety net to a support system rooted in dignity and respect?

Together we are transforming our understanding of welfare state violence.

Rootwork: Re-membering for Black Liberation

“We have a felt sense that something’s wrong. Being able to feel it and work through that to get us back to the place of re-imagining: the dream space, connecting with our internal sense of hope and possibility that I feel can only come from the information our body gives us.”

Rootwork & The Resilience Toolkit: Building Capacity to Stay in Relationship (with self and others)

This work helped me navigate the tension between how safe it is to feel, how much there is to feel, and how to stay present enough to continue organising without shutting down or burning out.

Rootwork: Reimagining the Future Starts in the Body

“Taking just a few minutes to land in our bodies changes the quality of how we are together. It creates a different foundation for connection, conversation, and collective imagination, and my hope is that we can all build on those skills and apply them to our daily practices.”

Rootwork: Like The Seeds of a Pomegranate

When it feels like the world is suspended in a state of permacrisis, community is the root that grounds us, giving us stability and hope. Not only does politicised somatics offer us an alternative pathway to reimagine our liberatory futures, but it also demands that we do it together. Like the seeds of a pomegranate, we nestle tightly against one another, connected by the white membrane that threads us together as one.

Breathing Spaces: Crisis, Denial, and Building Collective Care in the Age of Pandemics

This report reflects on the Covid-19 pandemic, the denial of its ongoingness and how folks who are positioned as most vulnerable to the virus continue to organise to collectively respond to the current moment.

Inside Movement Medicine: Meet Macole

“I’m learning how it also starts from the self and how it is at the cellular level in which we create ripples and changes at a more macro scale. Innerstanding that being in the body, as a site of transformation, simultaneous effects broader structures. So much of the time we are understanding oppression by intellectualising it.”

Dear Comrade…

One of the strengths of our movements for liberation is in turning towards the trouble, not away. A letter drawing on a transformative justice lens to resist polarisation.

Building Collective Power & Preparing to Govern

Exploring the internal and external work. We offer this space for all of us – organisers, liberation workers, community leaders, healers, and abolitionists – to learn about the embodied competencies we need to cultivate in order to build and tolerate power, and reckon with what it costs us when, instead, we default to shame or making ourselves smaller.
