Fall 2025 - Spring 2026 ꩜ Waitlist now open!

Slow Down Together is a six month, mutual support container for anti-capitalist visionaries to be in embodied exploration of what becomes possible in our lives, work, & movements for justice when we collectively slow down in pace & presence.

Over the course of six months, we explore themes of embodied urgency & where it comes from, engaging in practices that resource the transformation of our reactive impulses and default behaviors. We center that we are more powerful together than we are alone.

We are living through times of fierce urgency. The festering legacies of colonial and racialized violence on Turtle Island and around the globe encompass genocide, war, famine, climate catastrophe, swelling fascism, imperial resource extraction, exploitation of life/land, the ongoing covid-19 pandemic and other international health crises, hate crimes & mass shootings, conflict within our movements, communities, families, friendships, workplaces, and schools… & the list goes on.

We know that ceasing harm on all levels of society is necessary for true healing and transformation to occur. Understanding that our well-being as a species is dependent on the wellness of all life and land, we can easily find ourselves in a state of perpetual alarm as we witness and react to injustice after injustice and increasing attacks. While our bodies may indicate in a variety of ways that we need to slow down, we may habitually ignore or push past these cues. 

How do we meaningfully pause to notice, accept, and intentionally respond to our bodies’ signals around urgency and pacing? Some of us want to slow down, but feel like we can’t while suffering and oppression rage on, or responsibilities like work, school, or caregiving consume our time. What if we can’t access or remember how to slow our spinning, especially when we’re under duress?

Incorporating somatics, mindfulness, and the creative toolkit of InterPlay, we will unpack our tendencies to rush, develop and strengthen skills to ground our nervous systems, share stories, and unlock the wisdom of our bodies with supportive witness. Participants will be given concepts, practices, and invitations to voluntarily engage with the material in the time between sessions.
