About us
Supremacy is the thought that someone else is beneath you. All humans have had supremacist thoughts, through all time, including today. Supremacy’s roots lie in psychological insecurity. Psychological insecurity is pervasive, which explains why many current approaches to fighting supremacy are themselves supremacist. For example, in attempting to fight racism, many approaches traffic in racial essentialism - the belief that the essential, most important characteristic about a human being is the category of race to which they belong. This encourages disparaging others on the basis of race, explaining why we often feel that race relations are getting worse, not better. Theory of Enchantment exists to fight supremacy at its roots. The psychological insecurity that forms the roots of supremacy is a way of relating to oneself. This means that supremacy is a relational problem that requires a relational solution, and that this starts with one’s relationship with oneself. This is where we come in. Theory of Enchantment teaches people how to practice being in a healthy relationship with themselves first, without which they could not be in a healthy relationship with others. Once a person is able to accept the parts of themselves they feel ashamed of, they will be able to accept those parts in their neighbor. Imagine. If a person is at peace with herself, she will not be captured by supremacist thoughts because she will have no need for them. Difference will become a source of curiosity instead of a threat. This is a state of Enchantment. And this is where we will take you. “This is not hyperbole; I feel like Theory of Enchantment absolutely changed the way I am living life. It has absolutely changed the way I interact with all people, even my family, my kids, my husband, my extremely conservative parents, and my extremely progressive friends. It has absolutely changed me personally, not just at work, or with race relations, but with human relations.”

“Not just range and anger. There is good too.” If you watch X-Men First Class too haphazardly you’ll miss that Charles Xavier makes a crucial mistake here and it is the mistake of labeling Magneto’s rage and anger as “bad.” He doubles back by saying that “when he can access all his emotion he’ll be more powerful” but Xavier never actually honors Magneto’s emotion of rage in the rest of the film. Instead he asks him to suppress it. He does not let him get in right relationship with it and channel it properly. Without a container to put our rage and our anger, we will compulsively act it out and discharge it by directing it at others. You may label this bad but if you see beyond that polarity you will find that it is the natural order of things. This is why we need properly held sacred containers to channel our emotions so that they do not channel us. 🧘🏾♀🪬🦸🏼♂

This video is just an approximation. The easiest way to zoom out and in simultaneously is to be in nature. The last time Chloe was camping, she experienced this. She saw the mountains in California and experienced both her own grandeur and her dust. This is something words can never fully capture. 🏔🧘🏾♀☯

This official 2010 FIFA World Cup Song celebrates Africa with this absolute banger from Shakira. If you were alive anywhere on the planet when it first came out, you probably remember lol. We love that it celebrates Africa, the mother of us all, and that through this video, we can all as a species see ourselves reflected in her. So wherever you are take a break, listen to this song, and dance. This time for Africa. This time for humanity. 💃🏾🪬☯
