STORYTELLING + BELONGING

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.

SOLIDARITY
OCTOBER 2025 (5-week cohort)

Over these five weeks, we make a gentle commitment to take action, share about it, and tinker to find a way of making change that feels sustainable and meaningful.

This isn’t about solving an issue (although, in some cases that might be possible), but rather engaging the issue.

CREATING 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.

Because this moment calls not just for care, but for solidarity.

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.

RELATING TO TIME
JUNE 2025

The ancient Greeks had two different concepts of time:

Chronos referred to what we usually think of: linear, sequential, and measurable. Kairos had more to do with the quality of time.

In this workshop, we will explore our relationship with time (and how it may have changed in different seasons in our lives) and how these different experiences of it shape our attention, stress, decision-making, and sense of meaning.

RESILIENCE
MAY 2025 (5-week cohort)

One of the reasons many of us find it hard to take consistent action is that we haven’t practiced.

Not just practiced taking action, but practiced holding charge and tension in the midst of conflict, practiced being present to what’s occurring, practiced leaning in and not checking out. Practiced being resilient.

During this 30-day cohort, we will each experiment with finding a set of practices that expand our capacity for resilience and presence so we can take action that is meaningful and sustainable in the long-run.

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.

OUR STORIES (5 week cohort)

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. (February)

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.
