Why relationship? And why now?
We are living in a time of change, reorientation and collapse. Skillful relational strategies and alliances are needed to learn, grow and build together.
We'll discuss relationship -- is it a technology, a craft, an art and/or all of the above? We'll also sit with creative prompts & practices together.
There will be no dictates from so-called "experts" or powerpoint presentations offered during this gathering. We will invoke the intelligence of the group & we might even have a little fun…
This space centers self-responsiveness as a way for each participant to attune to their own needs, desires & creative imaginings around relationship. Bring your imagination, a notebook, art supplies, tarot and oracle decks and/or anything else you’d like to use during our time together!

What participants are saying about this program…
I loved the small group discussion! I appreciated how open everyone was and the insights that other participants shared. I also appreciated that the workshop felt like it struck a really good balance between structured discussion topics while also letting participants take those discussions in new directions and bring their own interpretations to the topics. I also loved that this was an intentional space and time to reflect on and discuss relationships.
I would recommend this gathering to anybody who is thinking intentionally about relationships and how to be in relation to other people in affirming, supportive ways as we all stare down the fall of U.S. empire, the polycrises of climate change and the on-going covid-19 pandemic, and the continued exploitation of capitalism. —Anonymous
I loved the broadening of definitions and wide range of perspectives offered. I would recommend this gathering to anybody who wants to think with a community about relationship. —Pam M.
