ReMembering
how to become a human being on this Earth
An 8-month experiential course on re-membering ourselves as part of the Earth: connecting with our whole selves, each other, and the planet.
This is a group-oriented learning and growth space, designed to understand, experience, and move through the fear, numbness, despair, and overwhelm of our global grief.
This is a space of participatory learning and teaching, which grows stronger through each member’s curiosity, vulnerability, and openness.
This is a space to actively dive into and work through feelings of isolation/disconnection from ourselves, one another, and the environment, and to practice being with our present global feelings.
8-month-long cohort
OCTOBER 2026-MAY 2027
Limited spots available.

Is this right for me?

I want to overcome feelings of [isolation/alienation/ disconnection/powerlessness…] in myself, my community, and/or larger systems
I want to feel more connected to nature and the larger earth community. I want to feel interconnectedness.
I want more ways to connect with and understand my physical body and mental/emotional ecology
I'm ready to embark on a transformative journey that includes grief and feelings-work and an effort to dismantle limiting internal and external structures
I want to approach my experience and practices with a friendly, curious, non-judgmental attitude
