Manifesto



NSISIM... (nuh-sih-sim) means ‘spirit’ in Bulu: a language spoken in the Southeastern region of Cameroon. 

this space is for:

  • 🌀 the curious who wants to bridge the gap between their values and embodying them


  • 🐚 the researcher interested in land, nature, memory, patterns, images, time, poetry, liberation


  • 🫀 the empathetic critic who observes, questions, re-envisions, and puts back together


  • 💌 the compassionate collaborator who respects, adds to, and co-imagines solutions & visions


  • 👽 the visionary worldbuilder who dreams, plans, visualizes, organizes, and.or strategizes


  • 🌿 the creative who makes, draws, weaves, tells, dances, plays, moves, connects, sings, paints, writes, builds, imagines

NSISIM Studio wants to personally thank the planet for all that it is, Sasha Kelley for outlining the marketing and distribution strategy of these courses – endlessly grateful for your piscean dreamer and capricorn rootedness and Iris E. Fernández Valdés who is our creative practice and emotional excavation life coach who has been accompanying us through parks, emotional underworld, creative laboratory, and inner child to unearth language and corporal and poetic connections presented as NSISIM.\

Nature



What do plants, animals, rivers, trees, understories, and more have to embody and learn from?

What herbs and plants have been used for liberatory struggles? What can we learn from them?

What processes of grief, acceptance, love, clearing, regeneration does nature embody that we could learn from?

How have creatives, writers, farmers, and cultures personified and transformed plants to dream and create new visions of realities?

In this course, we’ll:


  1. observe the nature around us and listen to the lessons embodied in its landscape
  2. carve out our inner landscapes and get curious about what they hold, share, and are saying
  3. study the elements: air, water, fire, earth & the ways they have been written and personified 
  4. develop a poetic & political language and orientation of a personalized ecology
  5. explore medicinal properties of herbs for grief, love, soothing and more...
