hi, my name is sonj basha (they/them/any), a deep culture practitioner

as storyteller and a facilitator, i work to bring projects alive through culturally relevant practices & thoughtful content

I am the Founder & Creative Director of an embodiment project called Unlearning & Liberation. Through community building, I work to bring to life to a healthier, more just & sustainable future

Without sustainable humans, we won’t have a sustainable earth. By engaging the needs of our time, I am in service of working towards personal and communal healing

reach out for a Discovery Call about potential  engagements.

I was born in Islamabad, Pakistan & embody the multi-cultural margins that have influenced my queer identity. The multiplicity, dynamism, fluidity & authenticity to which I pride myself have come from my diverse background and lived experiences. I am a multi hyphenated artist & creator.

In 2012, I began community building by co-creating a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to empowering brave spaces for young women and people, globally. I decided to deepen my work by becoming a scholar in the field.

After studying at the Lorry I. Lokey School of Business and Public Policy, I graduated with a Bachelors degree in Women's, Gender, and Sexualities Studies with an emphasis on Race and the State from Mills College in the Bay Area, California. my passion for socially responsible business practices, comes from my specialty minor degree in Socially Responsible Economics, exploring the facets of economic justice and impact-driven work.

I have spent ten+ years working and training in multiple bodies of work. Coming from a lineage of meditation, facilitation trainings, and coaching, over time, i have expanded my practices into Creative Direction, Transformational Design, and Organizational Facilitation. my work is committed to making a positive impact on humanity in the spirit of the natural world. I have been blessed to be able to learn & collaborate with some deep ancestral wisdom and amazing teams, which have spanned from grassroots coalition building to government policy.

Here, now. These unprecedented times call for radical & brave steps forward. We are paving the way of the new world that must the re-center the art of collaboration & community. I am deeply grateful & privileged to be eating healthy, finding time deepening my relationship with the natural world & being mindful of our collective immune system. May we steward the growth of a new way of life that is even more balanced and brilliant.
