Wangũi wa Kamonji

Born and based in Ongata Rongai, East Afrika, Wangũi wa Kamonji is a regeneration practitioner researching and translating indigenous Afrikan knowledges into experiential processes, art, and honey. She has been following an ancestral invitation to rethink and reimagine everything from indigenous Afrikan ontologies, and extends this invitation to others through fromtheroots, an ecoversity based in East Afrika and supporting individuals’ and communities’ transitions from coloniality to the pluriverse through transformational training, coaching and practice accompaniment. Weaving research using academic and indigenous methods; storytelling in written and oral forms; traditional Afrikan dance and movement practice; ancestral connection, processwork, and nervous system relation, fromtheroots provides rooted embodied tools for us to decolonise and reindigenise.

Her work is published on Decolonial Passage, Open Global Rights, Africa is a Country, Transition Network among others. She is also related to planetary networks such as the Ecoversities Alliance and the Global Tapestry of Alternatives (GTA). Wangũi loves reading, laughing, drinking tea and dancing (sometimes all at once).
