Five Weeks Practicing Liberation-Centered Education
5 Sundays | August 2-30, 2026 @ 11am CST | Virtual
The systems not designed for our wellbeing have us disconnected from ourselves, each other, and the land.
What if, for five weeks, we practiced returning – to our bodies, to relationship, to the web of life that’s been holding us all along?
Once we feel and experience another way – we’re open to a renewed world of liberated imagination, collective care, and aligned actions.
So we gather to navigate these waves of individual and collective change, healing, and transition, together.
No doubt it’s a lot… deep breath.… and we are built for these times.
The Transformation
Over five weeks, we’ll develop three core capacities that change how we show up in every learning space, every relationship, every moment of life…
→ Returning to Body
We’ll learn to be with our nervous systems in real-time – to notice when we’re dysregulated, breathe ourselves to presence, and stay grounded when conflict arises. No more running on autopilot.
→ Returning to Relationship
We’ll practice moving toward (not away from) rupture. We’ll learn restorative language that repairs rather than defends. We’ll discover that conflict isn’t a threat – it’s a portal to deeper belonging.
→ Returning to the Web of Life
We’ll remember we’re not alone. We’ll feel our belonging to ancestors, land, community, and future generations. We’ll make decisions from interconnection, not isolation.
We’ll gather every Sunday in August at 11am CST to practice these capacities through the Liberated Learning Model’s four pillars: Relational Ecology, Embodied Learning, Restorative Culture, and Reciprocal Belonging.
This cohort is co-creative in design – we bring questions, ideas, context, lived wisdom, and together, we weave learnings and connections.
We all teach and we all learn.
The Journey – Five Weeks of Practice
Week 1 – Coming Home to Our Bodies
Core Teaching – You cannot hold space you haven’t created within yourself first. Learning begins in relationship.
We’ll explore parts of self we want to reclaim and map our learning village.
Week 2 – Building Our Capacity
Core Teaching – The body is the first teacher. Learning happens through sensation, movement, and experience.
We’ll build a regulation toolkit and learn to notice dysregulation.
Week 3 – Restorative Repair
Core Teaching – Healthy conflict is the portal to authentic belonging. Repair is a practice.
We’ll practice repair and experience how staying through discomfort deepens relationship.
Week 4 – Practicing Belonging
Core Teaching – We belong with all of life. Right relationship with ourselves allows us to mirror love and co-create cultures of reciprocal care.
We’ll create a belonging ritual and feel our interconnection viscerally.
Integration Circle
Wisdom Harvest circle and closing ceremony
We’ll name what we’re taking forward, create a commitment, and know we’re never alone.
Aligned Seasonal Timing
We begin August 2nd — late summer, harvest season, the fullness before the turn.
We open under Jupiter in Leo: heart, fire, authentic expression. A once-in-twelve-year invitation to step into the light of your own becoming.
A Solar Eclipse lands in Week 3 — a threshold that shifts the ground beneath your feet, right as we practice Restorative Culture together.
By Week 4, the North Node moves into Aquarius, the sign of collective belonging, just as we explore Reciprocal Belonging. Our closing circle falls one day before Jupiter and Saturn form a trine — an aspect of enduring roots.
Whatever is planted here is held by forces much older than us.
This is learning with the seasons. Flowing with ancestral rhythms. Letting the sky be our elder.
Our ancestors didn’t carry their visions alone. Neither do we.
This is for…
This is for those ready to practice.
You’ll actually DO the things. In your body, within your context, and with support.
Maybe you’re exhausted
Maybe you’re grieving what education has become.
Angry at the systems that keep harming the people we love.
And maybe, you’re also hopeful.
Feeling the call. Ready to move from dreaming into doing.
If this is you – if you’re reading these words and something in your body is saying yes, this, now – then know, you are not alone.
We are the momentum co-creating a more healed, whole way of learning and being together.
How We’ll Gather
Every Sunday @ 11am CST, ~2 hours live
Opening practice – we land together, ground in bodies
Practice exploration – teaching, activity, embodied experience
Community weaving – sharing practices, questions, learnings
Integration closing – what wants to be carried forward?
All circles are recorded if you can’t make it live.
This cohort is intentionally small (max 20 participants) so we can deepen into community.
What We’ll Practice
This is about embodied transformation. By the end of this cohort, you will have…
✦ Practiced returning to our bodies when dysregulation comes – and we’ll have regulation toolkits we trust
✦ Practiced repair in community – we’ll have stayed through discomfort and experienced how conflict can deepen relationship
✦ Practiced belonging to the web – we’ll have created altar spaces, mapped our villages, and felt our interconnection viscerally
✦ Practiced in our contexts – we’ll have tried new ways of showing up in our actual lives (classroom, home, community)
✦ Built community – we’ll know we’re not alone in this workWe won’t just know ABOUT liberation-centered education.
We’ll have lived it for five weeks. We’ll know the way back.Time Commitment
~5 hours per week, designed to nourish, not deplete
You’re welcome to adjust your depth of engagement – some weeks go deep, some weeks the minimum.
