Drisana “Dru” McDaniel (she/her)

I am a mother-worker-activist and facilitator. My teaching addresses social injustice, racialized dimensions of trauma, resilience and capacity, and the power of connecting across differences to experience healing and integrity. Through my practice The Alchemy of Now, I attend to the nitty-gritty of our individual and collective experiences from an embodied, historical, social, and psychospiritual perspective. I envision transformational justice as the fruit of contemplation and action. With the Transformative Teaching Collective, I am honored to support organizations and groups by designing and facilitating workshops and gatherings that focus on conflict-resolution, social justice education, empathy, the practice of non-violence, healing and collaboration. I have a passion for curating events to facilitate radical interconnectedness, and I remain hopeful about what can happen when we explore our connections to each other and the earth. 
 
I live in Summerville, South Carolina with my two daughters.
