This workshop is about nurturing different ways of facing illness, as alternatives to the usual approaches of Western medicine. The focus is on relating to illness, not diagnosis or treatment, regardless of context or modalities. This is not about shaming anyone for using the resources of Western medicine or disregarding its benefits. Rather, this space recognizes limitations & encourages you to move beyond the binaries, especially in regards to chronic conditions. Skye will share about their experiences (30+ years of chronic pain, 5+ years of Long Covid), most of which have been outside Western medicine. There will also be time for group discussion. If you've wanted more support, if you're curious, or if you're frustrated with Western medicine, this is a non-clinical space to learn & discuss, without pressure or anything prescriptive. The purpose is to cultivate relationship & ritual that nourish you & align with your values and practices.
