Witch School Chapter 19, Adaku Utah

HOW TO SURVIVE THE END OF THE WORLD
About this episode

adrienne is thrilled to welcome Adaku Utah to Witch School. Baltimore born, Nigeria, Maryland, raised in Festac, Nigeria, grounded in her legacy of organizers, farmers and healers, Adaku harnesses her seasoned skills as a grassroots strategist, holistic healer, transformative facilitator, somatics coach and ritual artist as an act of love and commitment to her community. They enjoy co-cultivating strategic, sustainable, and impactful social justice leaders and organizations. For over twenty years, their work has centered on movements for radical social change, with a focus on gender, reproductive, race, youth, and healing justice.  They are the co-founder of Harriet's Apothecary.

On this episode adrienne and Adaku talk about sabbatical, life beyond what we thought, abundance, the core roots of the magic we’re holding. witchwork as an expression of awe, the taste of joy, the texture of despair, the rhythm of earth seasons, the cycles of the moon, the sounds of drumming and humming and feet on land, receiving the touch of a loved one, the wisdom of ancestors from the underground railroad, mushrooms and crushing on your first babysitter.
