Feghali's upcoming book The Land in Our Bones, documents cultural herbal and healing knowledge from Syria to the Sinai, while interrogating colonialism and its lingering wounds on the culture of our displaced world. The book features her Plantcestral Re-Membrance methodology as an emergent pathway towards cultural repair within herbalism, while engaging nuanced conversations about identity, loss, and exile, and the critical importance of tending the land and life where we are to restore the fundamental integrity of our communities.
The founder of the Radical Therapist Network, Sage M Stephanou, will be in conversation with Layla drawing on key themes within the book, particularly the links between ecological destruction, displacement, and consequences of colonisation on our capacity to heal. We will be holding particular care and attention to these themes in light of the current genocide in Palestine.
