In this episode, dancer, choreographer, and artist Chitra Vairavan speaks with SooJin about how her experience with racism and caste discrimination as a Tamil, non-Brahmin artist spurred her to create alternative practices rooted in deep listening and self-love. These principles serve as the foundation of what she calls the "decolonized spiritual," as well as her own creative liberation practice. For her, we decolonize ourselves to heal ourselves, to love ourselves, to reclaim and take back what was taken from us in the process of colonization. Listen and learn as Chitra calls us to embrace difference and "unbelonging" in a world that is constantly pressuring us to belong and assimilate into whiteness.
