As systems change and collapse, how might we move with a stronger love ethic and commitment to collective liberation?
The Undergrowth Sanctuary: Practicing Freedom as Strategy is an 8-week collaborative course offered through the School of Radical Imagination. Here you will be guided through embodiment, imagination and strategic navigation practices that support you to explore a relational freedom – one rooted in an ethic of love and interdependence, not escape or individualism.
REGISTRATION HAS BEEN EXTENDED + scholarships are available!
Coaching & Facilitation
I listen deeply and guide individuals and groups to create conditions for transformation and thriving through social justice and embodied facilitation, coaching and strategy. I have two special offers now, to help our communities and movements to meet this time of collapse and regeneration with imagination, joy, hope and rigor.
