the gatherings

Where the philosophy gets a pulse.

Liberation needs joy. Liberation needs friendship. Liberation needs witnessing. Liberation needs practice.

You can read about liberation. You can study it, annotate it, take the course, finish the workbook. And still — some things cannot be learned. They have to be lived. Some things cannot even be taught. They have to be unlearned, together, in a room with other people.

That is what the gatherings are for.

Dance nights and poetry. Sound baths and movie nights. Community dinners, grief rituals, ceremonies, celebrations. Sunday Gatherings and Practicing Your Praxis. Not a break from the work — the work, wearing its living clothes. This is where you practice your praxis in real time, in real life, with real people. Because we heal in community, and a liberated life cannot be built out of coursework alone.

Come learn. Come unlearn. Come be human with us.
