Our History

A SASSIA WOO NELSON

& CARA JEAN CHU MORI

COLLABORATION

Our lives have been entangled and intertwined long before we were even born. Our grandparents knew each other in Beacon Hill, often frequenting the same popular dim sum spots. Our mothers grew up on the same street, their childhoods overlapping in ways we wouldn’t fully understand until much later.

We were both born in the year of the Earth Dragon, another thread quietly tying us together. Growing up, we shared the same circles—friends, schools, and sports—moving through the same spaces without ever colliding.

And yet, in this lifetime, we didn’t physically meet until 2018. It happened at a climbing gym, where we spent the entire day together as if we had known each other forever. Only afterward did we realize we had never actually crossed paths before that moment.

Still, something about it all felt too familiar to be coincidence. Now, we believe what we once only suspected: that we have known each other across many lifetimes. In Chinese astrology, we call it a karmic friendship.

Our sisterhood grew as we laughed, separated, played, cried, and held space for one another through the journey of befriending our protectors, our anger, our grief, our fears. Currently we play with meeting in dream space through meditation, where we are always surprised and yet not surprised that we somatically and sensorially feel and see the same things in transcended states. We are are tide karmically together for the purpose of exploration, growth, learning, playing, and discovering ourselves.

Dragon Sisters was created so that we may extend these experiences and practices to others, offering sanctuary to the collective. Inviting others to play, soften, giggle, move, and rest from the containment of modernity and disillusioned way of thinking that we are only worth the physical labored attainments, that we are only physical bodied. We must be valued in the quiet, creative, metaphysical, and restful ways we do the hardworking of staying connected to ourselves, taking care of our spirit-bodies as well as our physical bodies, our community, the land, and the universe.

PARTICIPANT FEEDBACK FROM OUR IBASHO VIRTUAL PRACTICE SPACE

  • "they are an island of harmony..."

    “Sassia and Cara guided me on a meditative journey that unlocked energies within me that I previously had felt no access to. From feeling the sensation of white light pouring from my core, throughout my limbs, down my feet into the earth - and sonic cleansing rinsing the dark grit out of my spirit, I seek these two to refresh my roots to the Universe. In an ocean of noise they are an island of harmony.”

  • "to be softer and kinder to my body..."

    “I am in constant awe of the abilities of this group. I felt a comfortable pressure and warmth in my belly and left the group with the message to be softer and kinder to my body and all the amazing work it does. I also enjoyed hanging in the stars with everyone and during the meditation felt simultaneously colossal and tiny. Thank you for creating this space.”

    -Much love, B
