BUILDING CONNECTION
JUNE 14, 2026

Our modern culture is built around production, consumption, and convenience.

But rarely around one of the core experiences humans need to live meaningful, fulfilling lives: connection.

In this context:

• How do we navigate this landscape?

• How do we truly slow down and find our people?

• How do we build the future we want to experience together?

Join us for this conversation on connection, belonging, and how we can design a culture of care in our communities.

SOCIAL JUSTICE + ACTIVISM
APRIL 2026

To be an "effective activist," we're often told we must be loud, out on the front lines, and absolutely certain of where we stand on every issue.

But as Dorcas Cheng-Tozun asks:

"What does social justice work look like for those of us who don't feel comfortable battling in the trenches?"

Join us in this conversation as Dorcas helps us understand our current political and social context, and how we can expand the possibilities of how to be a peacemaker and positive force for change in our communities.

A REBELLION OF CARE
FEBRUARY 2026

In his book A Rebellion of Care, poet David Gate writes:

yes, everyone is struggling right now
so please be gracious
be kind & patient, but subvert
every institution that relies on our suffering

Join us for this conversation with David about the raw realities of our current political and social context, and listen as he weaves in poetry to help us fully experience the beauty and tension held in the midst of this moment.

STORYTELLING + BELONGING
DECEMBER 2025

This is a time of storytelling and story-tending.

Of listening with curiosity for the stories that can hold us and embolden us to move bravely into a future not yet known.

Please join us as authors Kaitlin B. Curtice and James A. Pearson explore the vitality of stories in our current moment and how they can root us in a sense of belonging, fierceness, and beauty.

NONVIOLENCE
NOVEMBER 2025

In times of collapse, we need a movement that recognizes injustice as a reflection of collective trauma and embraces its role as a catalyst for collective healing through transformative action.

In this workshop, Kazu Haga will introduce us to fierce vulnerability, an approach to changework that seeks to heal harm at the personal and systemic levels.

SHAPING CHANGE
SEPTEMBER 2025

In this workshop, we will engage in a series of exercises to help us name the commitment we most want to embody in the world; have clarity and focus around the one issue we’re ready to join others in working on; and take tangible, sustainable, and meaningful action that aligns with our lives and desires for the future.

CHRISTIAN NATIONALISM
AUGUST 2025

Our current moment did not emerge out of nowhere. Christian Nationalism has a long history in the United States and has been growing in seen and unseen ways for decades.

Somatic Experiencing Practitioner and Movement Educator Jenny McGrath walks us through the history of our current political moment, how we got here, and invites us into a somatic movement practice to reconnect and listen to our bodies in the midst of it.

MESSINESS OF CHANGE
APRIL 2025

When we talk about change, we often assume linear progress: something changes from this to that.

But we all know that isn't always the case – there is often a messy middle.

In this workshop, poet James A. Pearson will guide us in exploring the messy middle of change – our mud seasons, as he calls them – so we can navigate them with a bit more intention.

POLITICAL GRIEF
MARCH 2025

For those of us overwhelmed by the rise of fascism in the United States and its impacts on people around the globe, it can be difficult to feel grounded and to discern our next steps.

The experience of political grief can freeze us, even when we have a deep desire to act.

Grief expert Mandy Capehart guides us in understanding the ways political grief works, how we can metabolize it through our bodies, and how we can act in small, gentle ways to build our resilience and make changes right now that contribute to repair and healing in our local, national, and global context.

INAUGURATION OF TRUMP
JANUARY 2025

With Inauguration Day on January 20th, I thought it might be helpful to create a space for us to process how we're each experiencing the realities of Donald Trump's incoming presidency.

During this time together, I'll guide us in one or two reflective exercises and we'll have space to share out loud what we're noticing, how this moment feels, and what we're sensing is important for us moving forward.
