Mendocino Sufi CampRetreat Teaching Staff
Jul. 2023 - Jul. 2023Sacred Play: Creative Practices to Engage the Myths Within Us What if our creativity could serve as a mystical practice? What if play is just as powerful as prayer? Sufi mystic, philosopher, and poet Ibn al-Arabi coined the term alam al-mithal meaning “realm of images” in the 12th century. Psychologist Carl Jung drew great inspiration from Arabi’s writings in the formation of his theories of archetypal image and the “collective unconscious” centuries later. With theatrical play as a guide, this class will dive into an exploration of these inner landscapes. Participants will have the opportunity to deeply meet themselves through symbol, image, and archetype, giving voice to these imaginal players through varying forms such as song, poetry, and movement, because in the realm of imagination, anything is possible. Come, come whoever you are!

Eslabon La RealidadArtist in Residence
Feb. 2023 - Mar. 2023Putumayo, ColombiaThis Regenerative Arts Residency took place at the intersection of the Amazonian foothills and the Andes mountains. Facilitated by hosts Eslabon La Realidad and Progetto RESCUE!, our international ensemble combined an array of modalities grounded in theatre, song, and dance while engaging indigenous technologies and histories guided by the ancient code of the Chakana Andean cross and the four phases of time : Birth, Death, Rebirth and Manifestation. Incorporating individual creative lineages, the group developed original works as part of a regenerative cultural exchange of art with local communities that culminated with interactive performances and ritual celebrations.

Dec. 2022 - Apr. 2023BRINGING INTERSEXY BACK
“Hotties with bodies in-between have always existed. But with intersex people making up roughly the same percentage of the population as those born with green eyes or red hair, how many can you actually name? Since coming out as intersex in 2020 I’ve come to know many incredible people and activists with various intersex traits, but quickly realized I knew nothing of our presence across history. Currently pursuing a doctorate in Mythology, I decided to explore what it’s been like for us through the ages. The more I looked, the more I found intersex folks appearing in every culture and across every time period, continent, and mythology of the world…” Purchase the full article HERE

Ritual4ReturnDirector
Oct. 2019 - Dec. 2019New York, United States“Ritual4Return is dedicated to using ritual, art, community-building, and education to support formerly incarcerated people as they heal from the trauma of incarceration, overcome feelings of shame and stigma, and strive to live healthy, meaningful, and fulfilling lives.” Over the course of five weeks, Kira worked with a team of directors to guide and support the first cohort of women to embark on the R4R jouney. With little to no former theatrical experience, these brave women chose to creatively engage with their stories and emotions, crossing the threshold into a new chapter as their families and communities bore witness. More than half of prisoners in the US will be re-arrested within three years of release, largely because of systemic failings and lack of support for re-entry after incarceration.
