Learn from the Earth. Unlearn everything else.
Earth Unschool is an adaptive learning collective. A space to explore what is emerging and embody forward what is possible.
A living lab of ecological and relational skills and aligned action. A social island of coherence rooted in the belief that the world we want is already being built - in community, in nature, and in our bodies.
We gather to cultivate the tools to live differently, act collectively, and create from the grassroots up. Toward a more just and ecological world, together.

Relational Foundations for Earth Citizens
Thursday Dec 3 @ 6-8 pm
Nourishing snacks provided.
This class is a practical and embodied exploration of the relational skills that matter most in bridge times.
Pro-social skills are the relational capacities that help us move toward each other rather than away. The learned ability to listen deeply, offer care, repair ruptures, build trust, and create the conditions where genuine community is possible.
Skills that make us good to be around. To lean on. To create and build together. Learn the relational skills that matter most for earth citizens right now. How we relate to the land and how we relate to each other. These are the foundations that make genuine community, collective action, and a regenerative way of living actually possible.
Drawing on these pro-social practices, organic intelligence, and post-traumatic growth we will map our circles of closeness, explore what mutual care actually looks like, and learn concrete skills for building the kind of community that sustains us through bridge times.
We are living through a loneliness epidemic - and most of us were never taught these skills.
We will cover
Find our identity through relationships
Building community from scratch — where to begin
Circles of closeness — mapping your relationships
Being a good neighbor
Pro-social and collective healing practices
Mutuality — how can I love you better?
Organic intelligence and relational repair
Relational skills for being with land, animals, and the non-human world
Come with your real life. Leave with a clearer map of how to tend it.
Limited spots. Intimate by design.
You feel called to contribute - but between the overwhelm of the metacrisis and the noise of daily life, your specific thread remains just out of reach.
This intimate retreat moves beyond career and doing-good into something deeper: your dharma. Through meditation, embodied practice, visioning, and co-creation, we'll map the intersection of your gifts, your truth, and what this moment is asking of you.
Not ego. Not should. Soul.
Come ready to go all the way there.
How to be an Earth Citizen in tumultuous times.
Essential skills at the intersection of relational depth, ecological identity, and embodied practice. Aligned living in the city - and beyond.
You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.
—Buckminster Fuller
GATHER
Samhain Celebration
Pronounced saw-win, this ancient Celtic earth-based holiday marks the start of winter. We gather together to intentionally enter this time of darkness and renewal. The veil between physical and spirit realm is thin. We honor those who came before, our ancestors.
