The Soil of our Self
Led by Kamakshi Duvvuru

Hand in hand with 𝐙𝐨𝐫𝐚 𝐍𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐞 𝐇𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐧, we’ll follow ourselves down to the root, re-language ourselves in the soil of our self, finding words for what already lives within us.

We turn toward what exists beyond any external gaze, and toward what is felt before it can be named. Drawing from Hurston’s writing, particularly Their Eyes Were Watching God, and the ways her character Janie comes to recognize her innermost desires, we move closer to the root of our own inner language.

What is the soil of our self, the most root and granular language of our inside? Shall we string and adorn ourselves with it—“gleam it around” on the outside?

Join us for this Third Sunday Service offering as we gather in reflection, inquiry, and shared space.
