I'm a little alarmed that somehow it is nearly mid-June, but super grateful to have gotten some things on my calendar for the remainder of the year. I am still mired in the creation of a new website/organization overhaul and you'll be the first to know when I finally get it launched, but until then, I wanted to let folks know about the offerings I've come up with for the remainder of the year (at least the online ones) so you can share, sign up, or ignore them.

A note about signing up: I am continuing to work on removing myself from technology that is harmful in different ways, and one of the companies I'm working to divest from is Google. There is an open source platform that has most of the functionality of Google Drive called CryptPad and I'm using that for all my sign up forms for now. It's not cute or slick, and it may at first raise alarms for you when you click through the link, but rest assured, it's safe. It is a French company, and so far (with the exception of not being able to upload videos to share), I like it.

​CREATING WELLNESS WITH INTENTION​

This is a one-hour Zoom class that is designed to help folks identify ways to bring their nervous system back into regulation. The world is A LOT right now, and setting up some easy practices that we can use on a regular basis to counteract all of the information overload and sensory overwhelm we are feeling doesn't have to be super hard. I'll offer it on the 4th Friday of the month, so there will be multiple opportunities to engage (it's not a series - it's meant for folks to take once, although if you take it and then want a refresher, that's cool). Sliding scale cost is $10-$15. Sign up at the link in the paragraph heading.

June 27, July 25, Aug. 22, Sep. 26, Oct. 24, or Nov. 21

​PREPARING TO RESIST: Nervous System Regulation as a Collective Practice​

This course is for people who want to find ways to organize and sustain resistance without burning out. This 90-minute Zoom gathering will give you tools to regulate your nervous system and recognize when you need support to continue the fight. This is very similar to the online courses I did right after Trump was elected, specifically for white women, but as things escalate politically, it feels important for more people to have these tools so that when we enter movement spaces, we are calm and clear and able to join in without getting super activated by our fellow activists. Like the previous course, it is meant to be taken once, and the different sections will be held on the 3rd Saturday of June, August, October, or November. Sliding scale cost: $15 - $40. Sign up at the link in the paragraph heading.

June 21, Aug. 16, Oct. 18, or Nov. 15

​COLLECTIVE GRIEF AND RAGE RITUAL WORKSHOP​

​GENERATIVE WRITING WORKSHOP​

*A note about pricing: I strive to let folks know upfront what I charge for my work. I also want all of what I do to enhance your life, your work, and by extension, the collective. I don’t want it to feel extractive or create scarcity in another key part of your life. You decide what you can afford and tell me. If the low end of the scale is still too high or you need to pay in chunks, let’s talk.

Please respond to this email if you have questions or want to sign up for something and are having trouble. You're also welcome to share this information with folks you think might be interested. Take care and know that I am holding you all in peace as we move through this wild time in history.
