Please note: The Well’s Summer 2023 cohort is for those that identify as *women of colour. Registrations for our Winter 2023 cohort, which is open to all, begins in April 2023. If you are interested in joining the wait list for that cohort please email hello@sesamathloapothecary.online and we will be in touch when registrations open.
The Well is Sesa Mathlo Apothecary’s 10-week race, culture and identity workshop series. In developing The Well we have created a comprehensive structure and container that allows you to deepen your understanding of social constructions in a communal setting.
In our learning journey we are weaving storytelling, intersectionality studies, Black feminisms and indigenous wisdom, practices and knowledge systems.
By having access to varying learning materials and teachers, we journey together to explore transformational ways to imagine and contribute to the waters of our future and enhance how you show up in the world as an agent of change.
Our Summer 2023 cohort will be from Wednesday 22 February 2023 - Wednesday 19 April 2023. Live facilitation sessions will be fortnightly on Wednesdays from 6.00pm - 8.30pm NZT. All sessions will be held online via Zoom.
Whether you’re working in a leadership position, embarking on a new career, parenting in a multi-cultural society or an engaged citizen wanting to apply social change practices into their everyday life, The Well welcomes you.
When: Wednesday, 1 March - Wednesday, 26 April 2023
Where: Online via Zoom
Time: 6.00pm - 8.30pm NZT
We have scholarships for those that identify as women of colour to participate in The Well Summer 2023 thanks to Manawaka Ao and the Social Cohesion Fund.
We are honoured to have been approached by Manawaka Ao, who are the recipient of the Social Cohesion Fund, to facilitate a cohort tailored to the needs of those who identify as women of colour.
Manawaka Ao is a community of women across multiple communities of colour from South Asian, South-East Asian, Central Asian, African, Tongan, Samoan, Latin American backgrounds who call Aotearoa, New Zealand home. Their name was gifted to them by their kaumatua Paa Riikau Terry-Karapa and they recognise their responsibilities and obligations as Tangata Tiriti of colour.
While we don’t utilise the language of women of colour or people of colour in Sesa Mathlo Apothecary, we understand it’s use as a solidarity term. We welcome all those who identify with the term and as women of colour, those who are racialised and those who identify as femme or non-binary, to join us for this cohort.
