DROP-IN PLAYSHOPS
One-time or short seasonal gatherings for writing, presence, creativity, and reconnection.

SEASONOCRACY: Playshops for Creative Re-Alignment With the Seasons
Hosted quarterly on the solstices and equinoxes (and sometimes other seasonal markers), these playshops are gatherings that invite us to realign our bodies, imagination, and intention with the intelligence of Earth—moving away from Empire time and the urgency of productivity and back toward the rhythms of the seasons.

EARTH INTIMACIES: Writing Into the Animate Web
Earth Intimacies is a writing playshop for those who feel the pull to rejoin the animate web of life—not as an idea, but as a lived, messy, breathing practice. We’ll gather to write with the season (external and within), bodies, grief, joy, landscapes, and the more-than-human world, letting words move the way life moves: relationally, surprisingly, and unfinished. (next one Saturday, April 25 via Rite of Passage Journeys)

---

WRITE AGAINST/BEYOND EMPIRE
This is an evening gathering for people carrying grief, rage, confusion, clarity, and imagination in a time of imperial violence, lies, and psychic exhaustion. Together we’ll write from the body and heart—not to perform despair, aestheticize suffering, or draft polite appeals to power, but to metabolize what is happening and let language become a tool of orientation, refusal, and possibility.

Next one August – Dates TBA soon

---

LOVE AGAINST EMPIRE
This two-hour creative/writing playshop is a generative space to write with/in/as Love as refusal, love as vision, Love as something that composts Empire and keeps moving even when Power wants to pave over it or keep it numb. (Feb. 14)

CROSSING THE THRESHOLD: 4-month Wilderness Rite-of-Passage Journey with Creative Arts Ecotherapy
Crossing the Threshold is a four-month sacred journey, combining elements of nature connection and creative arts and culminating in a 6-day wilderness rite-of-passage ceremony on the land. Beginning in July, we will gather every two weeks online to connect, deepen our intentions for our next steps aligned with our purpose, experiment with the 4 elements, and attune to our inner and outer wilderness landscapes. The program culminates in a 6-day renewal rite-of-passage ceremony in September along a beautiful forested river in Southern Oregon, where you will have two-nights out solo on the land and 4 days connecting in earth community, allowing yourself to be witnessed in your authentic story. NOTE: This is a ceremony stretched across a season, woven through ecotherapy, expressive arts, elemental practice, and a wilderness solo that marks your passage from one chapter of life into another.

(2027 Dates TBA)
