WORKSHOPS
Gathering Together, Weaving Community, Working Toward Love & Liberation
James has taught NonViolent Communication for over 15 years, and trauma informed education for the last 9 years. He is the lead educator for Echo Parenting & Education. At both Echo Parenting and Wolf Connection he has been fortunate enough to update, revise and rewrite their curriculums. The single day classes provided here are the continuation of this work, while integrating ritual and decolonial framings to deepen and broaden the offerings.
Pedagogy of the Oppressed
March 8th, 15th, 22nd, and 29th, 7-8:30pm (Sundays)
Come study "Pedagogy of the Oppressed" with James. Together, chapter by chapter we will review the core concepts, theory, and practices described in the text, and reflect on how these ideas have been central in movement-building spaces such as the Los Angeles Tenants Union, therapeutic and healing contexts, old-time traditional setting, and other collective efforts rooted human dignity and solidarity.

Sliding Scale for Workshops
For those who would like to come to a workshop but can't due to cost, below is a sliding scale that can be used. Also for those with more access to money due to income or family wealth the sliding scale is advised. It is a simple way, as a community, we take care of each other.

Self Empathy & Self Care
(Online)

A healing space for individuals to learn their nervous system and a practical approach to self care. Beyond a bubble bath post on instagram there is a place we will visit that feels a bit more like embodied self-awareness and self-compassion. Ideal for those needing restoration and re-alignment.
