“I have taken asana classes, meditation, single day workshops, and now a 5 week workshop with Alchemystic Studio. Each spaces brings the same enthusiasm and openness to each, using trauma-informed teaching to help guide every meeting with compassion and wisdom. I attended the “Our Shadows” workshop, a 5 week container where we were guided through shadow work. Shadow work is acknowledging the “darker” parts of yourself, and learning to work with them and integrate them into your whole being. It’s heavy and vulnerable work, and the facilitators made all attendants feel safe to share and to ultimately grow. They did the work alongside us, never feeling aloof or out of reach. This was an amazing workshop and I’d love to take more, whether on the same subject or a different one. I have a lot of shyness and anxiety, so the fact that I was able to speak up in every class and share myself with these people who started as strangers… that should say it all.”
“I cannot say enough about how grateful I am for my new Meditation practice.
With all that is currently happening in the world, having someone like Meesha to guide my meditation has been life-changing. Like me, she is an activist and understands what that entails but also shares ways to guard your energy and find your peace. Even virtually, she knows how to deeply connect with you and gauge your feelings and what you need that day. It is truly a super power that she uses for good and we are all better for it.”
“As a queer South Asian american looking for ways to build community and practice yoga in a way that feels authentic and honors my indigeneity, Alchemystic Studio feels like coming home. I deeply appreciate the space that Meesha has intentionally built. I first participated in the brown & queer container and connected with community from all over the world while learning the history of queerness in South Asia. I subsequently joined the deep dive container where we are learning the 8 limbs of yoga through a lens of decolonization. I am so thankful for this opportunity to connect to community, myself, and the divine through the sacred teachings of Alchemystic Studio. I look forward every week to being in the deep dive container because it provides me the opportunity to be in community while also giving to myself. It’s a simultaneous act of self care and collective support and I am so grateful for these teachings and the space.”
![This is a rare article written from a diasporic Kashmiri’s perspective quoting folks on the ground in India Occupied and Pakistan Occupied Kashmir about what it means to us to experience true Azaadi (liberation). Please give this a read. 🍁🕊️🤲🏽🙏🏽⛰️
Repost from @shado.mag
Kashmir recently made international headlines, but you don’t need to look through too many articles to notice a glaring omission of Kashmiri voices. As part of the Kashmiri diaspora, @imaanisk - aka @imaanifesto - feels well placed to explain that this deliberate silencing of Kashmiris has been going on for decades.
In order to address this, Imaan speaks with Kashmiris from both Indian-occupied Kashmir (IOK), Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (POK), including those on the ground, recent arrivals to the UK and members of the broader diaspora in the UK. In this long-read, Imaan takes us through the history of the region, and talks to fellow Kashmiris about belonging, colonialism and fighting against erasure.
Imaan writes: “In a world shaped by the relatively modern concept of the nation state, many people struggle to imagine identities outside its framework. Many communities – from Puerto Ricans to Uyghurs, Hawaiians to Palestinians, Kurds to Tibetans – often face similar questions: Why is your identity so complicated? Can’t you just say what passport you hold? But identity is more than an officially recognised flag, lyrics to an anthem or papers with red stamps; it’s deeply felt, rooted in a people’s history, culture, and sense of belonging.”

🎨 @heedayahlockman who says: “This illustration depicts a Kashmiri individual whose vibrant identity is fragmented and obscured by censorship and physical barriers. It highlights how geopolitical narratives silence Kashmiri voices and erase their experiences; yet, glimpses of their enduring culture and resilience persist amidst occupation and control.”
