unbodying supremacy, weaving connection
this is a sliding scale offering, please follow the apply button to pre-register
join somatic educators, ritualists, and visionaries amber arnold, em megas-russell, and lis newell for a six-month embodied exploration of unbodying supremacy/superiority culture through community care, ritual, and personal & collective healing. this is an immersive experience, therefore all participants commit to attending all 6 weekends, barring an extenuating circumstance.
one weekend per month we will gather in person with the land to deeply listen and share through rituals and practices that facilitate inner and inter-connectedness. each gathering will have a theme and be held by an intentional container centering the specific explorations we will work through.
we will engage in guided somatic exercises/education, seditious play, communing with the land & more-than-human kin, knowledge & wisdom sharing, altar building, partner & small group work, touch practices with consent, and all of the options that will become known in our dynamic and evolving space together. if you feel called to step into this, please reach out to hold your space!

investment:
early bird scale- pay in full by march 21: $1200 to $2400 and after march 21: $1500 to $2400 (works out to $200 to $400 per weekend for 10 hours of time with three facilitators.) full balance due by may 18.
we use a cost-sharing model that is deeply grateful to folks with higher income to pay the top of the scale so that folks with less money can attend. sharing resources is a big part of how we build an anticapitalist community!
