inspired by the work on the temple, in october 2021, the experimental support group tracing spaces was carried out in collaboration with abortion doula Zachi Brewster.

in december 2021, polyester zine published a co-created manifesto inspired by the experience of stewarding the group [ https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/tracing-spaces ]

Manifesto reads: This was our experience, but it is not ours to hold or gate-keep and so we invite you to create your own Tracing Space guided by your needs and the needs of your community. There are no rules, but here are some loose guidelines to get you started:

♥ This space is not about ‘making it better’, this space is about allowing expression of grief, frustration, anger, sadness, happiness, joy, realisation, affirmation . . .

♥ This space is judgement free, a place in which we can be seen and be held.

♥ This is a space of collective holding in which we are all facilitators and participants. It’s a shared responsibility to create and hold the space there is no distinction or hierarchy between the roles.

♥ This is a space that isn’t centred around productivity or profit.

♥ This space is temporary and as such it can be helpful to have a guide or an outline to explore each time. This is the outline we used but feel free to make your own or not have one at all.
1: Share your story.
2: Honour your experience.
3: Affirm your emotions.
4: Celebrate your body.
5: Close in community.

♥ This is a sensual space, in which we meet in person to be present with each other and ourselves.

♥ There is space here to honour our experiences and choices and celebrate the spirits of the water babies that passed.

♥ This is a space of not knowing.
