In this online series, I am collaborating with co-conspirator Hia Phua to offer space for coming together to build connection and trust, cultivate internal and collective refuge, and explore our capacity to meet our edges as opportunities for transformation. In our spring and summer sessions, we are leaning more fully into the collective practice of co-creation as experimentation in meeting our edges and cultivating refuge.
This practice of meeting our edges and cultivating refuge is guided by these understandings:
White supremacy, capitalism, heteropatriarchy, ableism and other systems of power and oppression that continuously shape us in and through our daily lives teach and remind us to celebrate and put forward certain parts of ourselves and hide, deny or hold other parts back
Transformation—the radical, liberatory kind that breaks down deeply ingrained patterns—happens in and through our bodies, and tends to emerge out of leaning into discomfort
Leaning in together—practicing in collective—can amplify discomfort and catalyze transformation
Refuge is essential when leaning into discomfort, helping us build our individual and collective capacity
Each gathering in this online series includes opportunities for practice and facilitated activities to support the ongoing work of meeting our edges and cultivating refuge.
