    Bringing it Home: Pluriversal Practice in Everyday Life with Maha El-Sheikh

    In the fifth and final episode of our second season of the Precisely! podcast, host Brooke Lavelle talks with Maha El-Sheikh, Co-Director of The Arrow and Courage of Care, about how we build pluriversal capacity in our everyday lives and work. Together they point to ways in which we are already pluriversal and how we can lean into that knowing in order to build muscle for and commitment to meeting and embracing multiple world and ways of being. Listen in! Maha Co-directs Courage of Care and The Arrow Journal. With 20 years working in the international humanitarian sector, Maha’s work currently focuses on the social injustices underlying our global crises. As a facilitator, she is inspired by 15 years living and working in Palestine and Lebanon, learning how connection to heart, beloved community, mutual aid, joy, and compassion can serve as antidotes to oppression, colonization, injustice and violence. She is eager to support those working in the aid sector to not only find sustainable ways of working in the face of ongoing violence and destruction, but also to find ways of seeking alignment—personally and professionally—with values of love and liberation.Maha is also the co-founder of the first non-profit, volunteer-run yoga center in Palestine, and brings her experience in studying and teaching trauma-informed yoga, somatics, and meditation to explore the interconnection of healing, social transformation, and justice. Maha is one of the creators and facilitators of our Pluriversal Practice Seminar, which is now available for self study! Study and practice with us.
