In this episode with Velda Thomas, we sink into a relational field that includes ancestors, more-than-human-kin, and each other.

Velda also reads a beautiful original poem inspired by her recent exploration of communal healing called "For the Benefit of All" which you can find on her Patreon.

Velda was born in England, with family ancestry sourced from Africa, the Caribbean and the Americas.

Love of creative expression has been a constant thread running through Velda’s life. Whether visual, written or performance she has dabbled in it all: blending genres to expose distinct hybrid forms of personal expression.

Current practices and interests include sound, somatic movement, clay, printmaking, poetry and personal narrative.
