Quote from Session 1 Attendee: “I love everything about this discussion. Drisana is amazing. It’s really inspirational and has made me think about my life so differently.”

DRISANA'S BIO

​

Drisana McDaniel is a group facilitator, social justice educator, transformation activist, and founder of The Alchemy of Now. Her teaching addresses social injustice, racialized dimensions of trauma, resilience and capacity, and connecting across differences to experience healing and integrity. Through her practice The Alchemy of Now, Drisana attends to the nitty-gritty of our individual and collective experiences from an embodied, historical, social, and psychospiritual perspective. She envisions transformational justice as the fruit of contemplation and action. As a coworker-owner of the Transformative Teaching Collective, she supports 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. She has a passion for curating events to facilitate radical interconnectedness, and is most hopeful about what can happen when we explore our connection to each other and the earth and realize healing. 

​

Drisana lives with her two daughters in Summerville, South Carolina, and she has an adult son that lives in Atlanta.
