ALT/Archives
a return to the body, the land, and your design
.ancestral.
.embodied.
.sovereign.
every . body arrives with its own knowing
Its own rhythm. its own memory of what has been held, what has been asked of it, what is still in the process of becoming.
The body is an intelligence that has been speaking longer than any system created to interpret it.
At ALT/Archives, we listen for what the body is already moving toward, and we build containers that allow it to arrive. to settle. to remember itself.
Your body carries more than biology. it carries the landscapes that shaped your lineage. the ancestral knowing encoded in the bones. the rhythm that is yours alone, that no protocol was ever designed to hold. Care that begins there is the only kind that goes deep enough to matter.
OFFERINGS
ALT/Archives offers multiple entry points into embodied, creative, and ecological practice—from single sessions to longer containers and collaborative experiences.
RE-EARTHING: ECOTHERAPY SESSIONS
land-based. somatic. relational.
Ecotherapy is a practice of slowing down enough to remember that you and the land are kin.
Outdoors, we move through walking meditation, deep listening, breath, and dialogue with the earth. As the nervous system settles and perception widens, the inner and outer landscape begin to feel continuous — and how you tend to one starts to shape how you tend to the other.
The Inner Altar
a 4-week 1:1 mentorship
A 4-week curated mentorship for those in a cycle in life where your old rhythm no longer fits, but the next one has not fully arrived.
The Inner Altar is for sensitive creatives and cultural workers standing at the threshold of their practice who are rethinking the way they work, their creative practice, and even the ways they've learned to survive within systems that no longer feel honest to their voice.
Through Human Design, ancestral somatics, eco-somatic inquiry, and somatic direction, we map the conditions for clarity, creativity, and inner authority together to bring you back on the path of purpose and curiosity.
SOUL MAP READING (Human Design)
A guided reading of your energetic blueprint —
to understand how you move, decide, and create
You were never meant to live a borrowed life.
A Soul Map Reading is a chart-based session drawn from Human Design — a system for seeing how your energy actually moves, where decisions are meant to come from in your body, and where forcing has been costing you.
Some parts of your chart only come into focus when someone reads them back to you, out loud, in real time, with what's actually there in front of us. My sessions are done live, 1-on-1, and built around your specific chart.
Beyond a downloadable summary or a generic interpretation, we will move through what your chart reveals about how you're making decisions, where you keep getting stuck, and what's actually yours to carry.
In this way, Human Design returns you to a way of living that already belongs to you.

iman dayo person
Iman Dayo Person is an artist, cultural anthropologist, and Creative Somatic Director working at the intersection of land, memory, and sensory experience.
Her practice explores the body as archive and the environment as a living intelligence. Drawing from ancestral somatics, eco-somatic practices, sound, and scent, she designs experiences that invite participants into states of deep listening, regulation, and remembrance.
Her work moves across contexts—
from intimate one-on-one sessions to immersive installations, workshops, and institutional collaborations—each offering a different entry point into embodied awareness and creative restoration.
Through ALT/Archives, she has developed a body of work that bridges artistic practice, modalities of healing, and cultural research into a cohesive, living methodology.
