site-specific, community-relevant education
for planetary liberation
Core Pedagogical Values
1. Sacred Space: preparing myself, the space, and the program with intention, incantation, and centering. This invites in spiritual support and presence for what will unfold.
2. Critical Pedagogy: approaching every workshop with the understanding that all participants are already coming in with invaluable knowledge, experience, and responses to share. This decenters the educator as being the expert, and honors what each person is bringing to the collective experience.
3. Adaptation: inviting participants to adapt and even skip any components of the practice that don't resonate with them. This allows people to check in with their bodies/spirits and center what they needs.
4. Authenticity: opening the space with authentic shares and check-ins invites our full selves to be present. We can be real with what's moving through us so that we can show up to the work fully.
5. Radical love: holding space with compassion for each person's complex being and journey, receiving them without judgement, and inviting us to do the same for others helps grow healing community. I find that incorporating playfulness, joy, and creativity into our work additionally opens up our hearts for connection.
Tools for growing an intersciplinary education for healing body, mind, spirit, habitat, and community.
