WALK 4 : Keti Koti

Time: 16:00
Location: Daily Practice, Rotterdam
The project WALK aims at transforming and healing the pain, wounds and rage offacing oppression, in particular racial oppression, using collective walking meditation.
Walking Meditation, in Relation to Rotterdam's Legacy of Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade
For the occasion of Keti Koti (but a couple of days earlier), we are holding the 4th session of the project WALK at Daily Practice, run by Suzanne Weenik.
Join us especially if:
- You feel wounded by racism.
- This expanding war is draining you.
- You carry too much pain in your heart.
We will gather at Daily Practice and read and discuss two publications made for this session and then go for a collective 40-min walking meditation outside.
First publication:
Is a research on the ships that left the port of Rotterdam for a trans-Atlantic slave trade voyage, from the 17th to the 19th century, transporting in total more than 30,000 captives from Africa to the Americas (especially Suriname) as “slaves”.
Second publication:
Is a “walking guide”, which discusses and gives instructions for the (intergenerational) healing practice of walking meditation.
WALK is a project that combines resisting and healing racial oppression, with non-Western modes of thinking and being, in particular the practice of walking meditation.
