AND
(what are some of the questions you want to answer ALONG THE WAY)
you would be responsible for establishing your fiELd of inquiry (curiosity x the intended action) and using your time in hausa to explore it.
round out AND DEEPEN YOUR INQUIRY THROUGH THE EXPERIENCES AND ENERGY FOUND IN THE SPACE — GET TO KNOW YOUR COHORT, LEARN FROM GUEST GUIDES, AND TAKE TIME TO REST X REFLECT.
examples of fields of inquiry —
exploration of how language x etymology breed deeper understanding by way of communication x connection / learning a language
research personal ancestral migration. ROOT cause x CURRENT effect
how to tend to a wound? the science and practice of PHYSICAL care and how can that be APPLIED X abstracted IN OTHER DIMENSIONS.

work with aligned energies within a considered container
IMMERSION IN A BRIGHT art-filled world.

where —
at hausa in toronto’s east end (dvp x dundas)
why —
to answer the call for a need —
the need for space, time, accountability, direction, clarity, refinement, community
to answer the questions —
what might grow from a seed? (that is tended to with love, encouragement, space x time)
what might come forth from this process?
also —
it’s a low commitment, high (intrinsic) value exchange (when compared to a co-working space OR COFFEE SHOP),
if you’ve felt isolated in the seeding and rooting phases of your practice, here, we water one another and give space for you to bloom
