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 2025-MAY 2026

Limited spots available.

Is this right for me?

Ask yourself if these experiences resonate. If the answer is yes to any of these, this may be the place for you.

  • 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

  • Notes on accessibility/weather:

    • Most sessions will be held outdoors on rough, mostly even ground 

    • Sessions may involve light physical activity (mobility issues including difficulty standing/bending can be accommodated)

    • Sessions on the farm will take place rain or shine (light protection under tents will be provided). Some sessions may be held indoors.

  • Commitment:

    • In order to build trust and cohesion in the group, we ask participants to commit to being present at all sessions. This experiential course involves practices and conversations that progressively build upon each other.
