THE PRAXIS CALENDAR™

The Liberation Method™ · Education • Somatics • Community

Liberation is practiced in rhythm.

Transformation doesn't happen in a single conversation. It grows through returning—to ourselves, to one another, and to the practices that help us live what we're learning.

Some gatherings invite us to deepen our understanding. Others invite us to slow down, notice what our bodies have been carrying, or remember what becomes possible when we practice together.

Come as you are. Begin where you are.

October · Season of Descent

What truth wants depth instead of resolution?

Depth · Grief · Honesty

Allowing cracks to show without needing to fix them.

Go deeper into this month’s practice

Mindful Mondays · Second Mondays at 7 PM Eastern

A somatic gathering to explore the month's invitation through reflection, embodied practice, and community. We practice at a pace our bodies can work with.
