What can our bodies teach us if we listen? How can guided movement, written reflection, and literary discussion help us access deeper layers of somatic experience? How might somatic practices generate new avenues for creative expression? In this five-week course, we’ll explore the body’s wisdom experientially, theoretically, and creatively. Each week, we’ll combine a somatic practice, such as breathwork, guided meditation, or gentle movement, with a discussion of a poem or theoretical text on embodiment and an in-class journaling prompt. The final class will offer participants the opportunity to share their work in small groups. Course texts may include but are not limited to works by Audre Lorde, Joy Harjo, Ocean Vuong, Mary Oliver, Lucille Clifton, bell hooks, Maggie Nelson, Ross Gay, and others.

Gift certificates may only be redeemed at the full tuition tier.

SLIDING SCALE TUITION

Full tuition is the cost per-student of running the class. If you choose a tier below full tuition, you are receiving a discount. If you choose to make a donation in addition to full tuition, you are helping to cover the cost for students who are not able to pay the full amount.

The mid-level tier is a discounted rate for people whose household income is at or above living wage but who have limited discretionary income.

The low-level tier and the full-scholarship tier are for people whose household income is below living wage or who need extra assistance to meet their needs.

SCHOLARSHIPS

Through our fundraising efforts, we are able to offer three full scholarships per class. The full-scholarship tier is a nonrefundable offering. Each student may only take one full-scholarship class at a time. Because our scholarship funding is limited, if a student selects multiple overlapping classes at the full-scholarship level, they will be disenrolled from all classes.

All sliding-scale and scholarship needs are self-assessed, and we will never request or require proof of need.

Please see our FAQ for more information, including installment plans, refund policy, and sick and inclement weather policy.
