Ashes & Seeds was born as a collaborative work of ritual theater, shaped by following instructions received through oracular transmission and catlyzed by our embodied experience of the wounds of patriarchy, colonization and capitalism. What unfolded was a collective enactment of a backward spiral: beginning in present-day wildfire and rupture, traveling back through the Burning Times, and arriving at the Sacred Grove and the Hearth as sites of original intactness. Everyone present became a participant—ash from burned stories spread on skin as living archive, red ribbons weaving bloodlines/storylines through orchard trees, songs rising in polyphonic grief and devotion, reclaiming our sacred relationship with Fire as new stories began to arise from the ash. The piece was created through deep listening—to land, to body, to one another—and through the necessity to metabolize what lives in our personal and collective body. What emerged is more than a single event: it is the beginning of a nascent modality, a syncretic practice of art, ritual, feast, and communal storytelling as a way to approach the healing of historical and ancestral wound.
