Sonja Henderson & Robert “Free” Bradford
The Ancestor and The Boom is the alchemy of ancestral wisdom, tuned vibrations, sacred objects and rituals. We adorn ourselves with beads, feathers, crystals, abalone, gold and silver to connect with the atomic elements and to receive the infinite wisdom of our Ancestors. We create regalia, headdresses, emblems, ritual objects and dances to tell our origin and futurist stories. We heal through nature by listening to the secret conversations of plants. And, We tune ourselves to the frequency of Love so We can be in harmony with All and the Universe. These are our Hand Tools of Resilience.
