Truth & Reconciliation | Liberatory Resources

Greetings Folks,

Artistic Apothecary stewards a spiritually awakened utopia where every being receives basic dignities and creates their own narratives through reparations, indigenous solidarity, and transformative justice while embracing accountability for their actions and the legacies of their Ancestry.

The three best ways we have found to tend wounds are by telling the truth, believing others and being accountable for ourselves and lineage.

We specialize in resource return through truth telling. Check out our post on Reparations, Rematriation and Repatriation that outlines our transformative justice work. Due to our positionality, we recognize that we advocate for slavery reparations while engaging in Indigenous solidarity efforts. Although we comprehend that all spaces must be intersectional for true liberation to be obtained. How each goes about it is slightly different.

The way we do liberatory work is through 5 phases of learning, 101-505. We will continue to elaborate on each learning pillar as we ourselves embody these ways of being.

The journey to exploring and embodying these ways of being –
101: How did we get here?
202: Owning your story through truth telling
Centering the truth as a way of living, in every interaction.
Braiding Aspects Of Truth Telling – course correcting/behavior integration, embody peace/feel emotions, authentic choice/self talk, navigating normalization of lies/lying
303: Practicing direct reconciliation
404: Establishing community accountability protocols
Radical self responsibility through heart led self agency, holding firm boundaries and prioritizing pleasure.
Maturity – spiritual and emotional.
505: Rewilding Relationships
Naming ourselves, introducing ourselves. Peaceful Responses. Both/And Communication Style.

Indigenous peoples’ funds, such as the Manna-hatta Fund, Shuumi Land Tax, and Real Rent Duwamish, have asked European settlers and non-Indigenous folks to pay rent to Indigenous people across Turtle Island. This act of giving acknowledges the legacy of theft and genocide, while recognizing our collective responsibility towards reconciliation, repair, and rematriation.
