The global healing course correction that we need will require the full scope of our innate and original sensibilities. We need to remember how to listen with - ourselves, each other, and the whole Family of Creation - because the notion of "human intelligence" existing in in a vacuum, in the illusion of separation, is what got us dangerously where we are.
Our health, communities, and movements suffer greatly when we fall prey to enforced amnesia. When we insist on trying desperately to "figure things out" in a vacuum - in living rooms, halls of governance, or systems of education - without including our wider family, we are relying on broken sensibilities and lying stories. Accepting what a culture that centers extraction and wants us dead has to offer as the only means of liberation will never work.
Thankfully, we don't exist in a vacuum and it has never been all up to us. We exist in the context of an infinite cosmos, a planetary Mother, an extraordinarily beautiful and vast Family of Creation, and the continuity of our benevolent ancestors. Restoring these relationships and systems of Relational Governance - meaning, how the hell we find our way - is the healing course correction that we need.
Join us for a practical and radical exploration of remembering together as viable strategy for the way forward.

Spirit of the Space and Collective Liberation - part of what defines our learning community is that we offer our teachings explicitly through an earth-honoring liberation lens - .we hold a firm commitment to dismantling systemic harm and sustaining safe space for community of wildly varied identities.
Our Fee Structure - we are a small grassroots intersectional (queer, Black, Trans, working class) and intergenerational community-building org. Not only does our core crew need to be paid, but we also ask our community of participants to share responsibility for making these offerings available to those who could not otherwise afford them.
