Building Collectivity And Autonomy: TEnding Attachments to Governance and Relationships with Authority

Racial capitalism carves the world for extraction; translating people, life, and land into property. While there are many possibilities for relating with ourselves, each other, and the ecologies we inhabit, the dominant order encourages us toward relationships of disconnection, individualism, and “thingification.”

If we are going to build the world anew, it’s imperative that we cultivate the skills, practices, and ways of relating that can challenge authority and increase our capacity for collective survival.

This program combines group live call time (monthly class time) with 1:1 coaching support (bi-weekly), so that you can understand yourself in relationship with the conditions of possibility governing the present moment. 

During group live calls, I’ll offer historical anchoring for understanding the present political/economic/social order as in keeping with the founding violences of the US nation-state form, namely chattel slavery and settler colonialism. I’ll introduce plants as teachers and guides as you do the challenging and uncomfortable work of confronting systemic oppression. For the duration of the program, you’ll build a relationship with one plant ally to guide and hold you through change. 

In 1:1 coaching calls, we’ll do deep tending of unlearning patterns of domination and submission while we work through your own attachments to authority and existing structures of power and oppression. We’ll focus specifically on you: your feelings, what you’re learning, and how you can move in ways that are aligned with collective liberation.
