Processing the Pandemic with Heart-Head-Hands

Wednesdays at 1pm EDT | 12pm CDT | 11am MDT | 10am PDT

These processing groups are intimate spaces (like small-group coaching) that support reflection, somatic awareness, and grounded re-commitment. Each week a new question frames the session, and we follow the same format: introductions, guided meditation, freewriting, and then conversation. 

During the time together, we use contemplative practices (guided meditation and freewriting) to ground and guide a conversation about how we’re experiencing, navigating, and meeting the individual and collective demands of this time.

We prioritize storytelling, reflect on lived experiences, and set intentions, responding to three questions that connect the heart, head, and hands:

  • Heart: What are you feeling?
  • Head: What are you thinking?
  • Hands: What are you doing (or able, willing, and ready to do)?

Together, we consider what’s demanded of us for living relationally and responsibly, for caring for ourselves and others, and for striving toward justice (social, racial, and environmental justice).

When will the group be offered?

Currently, I’m offering sessions through the fall, each taking up a question to guide conversation:

September 9th
How do I relate (functionally and dysfunctionally) to rest?

September 16th
What am I actively, daily practicing? (Because we’re always practicing something.)

September 23rd
How do I relate to money and resources?

September 30th
How can I better recognize and honor full humanity, complexity, and wholeness?

October 7th
What commitments guide both the everyday and the long-haul work of striving toward justice?

October 14th
How do we strengthen and grow emotional courage and stamina?

October 21st
How are we sitting with (or resisting) discomfort?

October 28th
What’s this election demanding of us, personally and collectively?

November 4th
What am I feeling, thinking, and doing today (day after the election)?

November 18th
What stories are unraveling or asking to be revisited and retold?

December 2nd
When, where, and how am I showing up as my best self? As my worst self? And why?

December 9th
When, where, and how do I feel limited in the ways I’m showing up? And why?

December 16th
How do we (dis)honor our own and others’ capacities for showing up?

What is the cost?

Anyone can attend for free.

If you’d like to support this work, consider subscribing via Patreon. Patrons provide support for public writing and community education (like this and other offerings).

✨Happy Birthday, Angela Davis✨Posted @withregram • @culturestrike Happy 77th birthday to Dr. Angela Y. Davis, one of the most consequential revolutionaries and communists of our time. Davis’ legacy as an abolitionist, Black feminist, philosopher, academic and author has been critical in shaping our conversations around racism, class, and, perhaps most notably, the prison system in the United States.

Today we offer you a quote to meditate on when thinking of Davis’ legacy: “You have to act as if it were possible to radically transform the world. And you have to do it all the time.”

"True, veganism is neither cruelty-free nor perfect; however, to reject nonhuman animal exploitation and thus, human supremacy, is to begin to also chip away at the oppression of marginalized people. "

I'm grateful that my partner Jonathan and I decide I'm grateful that my partner Jonathan and I decided to leave DC last week. (It was a complicated decision during the pandemic, but we’re grateful for car camping supplies, including a portable toilet and the capacity to plan + pack food for the week.) 

Time near the ocean and in marshlands provided a real respite. Here are a few of my favorite photos -- with deep gratitude again (and always) for the earth.

Photo 3: Here I am teetering (what life feels like these days): holding onto ropes, balancing on tree logs, and crossing a swampy area of marshlands.
