An intimate meditative session emphasizing kinship, nature, and community, and what the harvest means for art and life in difficult times.

This offering includes:

• A grounding practice, to acknowledge our connection with the land and interdependence with each other.
• Meditation on the harvest and possibilities that open when we look to the earth and all beings as kin.
• Gentle writing prompts on obstacles to a nourishing harvest.  
• Sharing in a supportive spirit.
• Intention-setting for the season ahead.
• Suggested readings.
• Group discussion space for sharing after our meeting. 

Suggested reading and the Zoom link will be provided one week before the class start date. A recording will be available for one month after the class date. 

A request to participate indicates your agreement to preserve confidentiality around disclosures by participants and that you are entering the class in open-hearted good faith. Please leave cynicism at the door. Be sure to read the full details of the house rules and other considerations below before registering.

Limited to twelve. Two scholarships are available, with an emphasis on BIPOC, LGBTQ+, disabled, and low-income participants.

House Rules

• Respect the mission. By joining in, you’re agreeing to show up with an open heart, a willingness to be in community, and an intention to follow these rules.
• Keep classmates’ disclosures confidential. You agree that personal disclosures from fellow students are not to be shared beyond this community.
• Be supportive as a default. Encourage and support fellow participants. Call in rather than calling out. (That said, I welcome constructive feedback. If problems arise, please do raise them with me!)
• Discrimination or disrespect on the basis of sexual orientation, gender identity, race, and/or ethnicity are not tolerated. 

A Gentle Note and Disclaimer

While my intention is to hold a nurturing and supportive space for this community, the meditative focus of this session might not be a good fit for everyone. It isn’t a substitute for professional medical or mental health advice. If you’re in a particularly flooded state around past trauma or what’s going on in the world, please make sure you’re well-supported before signing up. For medical and mental health concerns, definitely consult a healthcare professional. Participation in meditative contemplation carries the possibility of stirring things up and causing pain. Signing up means you’re okay with that risk.
