TEACHER FEATURE // Dee de Lara
Dee aims to co-create spaces for humans to share stories and connect by: teaching MOVEMENT that aims to inspire curiosity, facilitating CONVERSATIONS that spark reflection and action with @dinner.confidential and @insightsincolor, making @deedelarajewelry that reframes context and expectations, co-running @WHAT_TIME___, a hub to aggregate and amplify independent, emerging and BIPOC movement teachers' offerings. Dee asks QUESTIONS to critically interrogate existing systems and to learn widely and deeply from others. One of Dee’s core values is disruption: interrupting patterns and behaviour to foster abundance and growth.
