THE IMAGINAL PORTAL

a year long study

THE IMAGINAL PORTAL

become a force for creative change

In this year long study, we will bring practice into building our imaginal reality and enter into the imaginal portal that’s been calling to us. The worlds we long for are asking for us to re-member. For us to re-member that we deserve to live in the imagination of the free rather than continuing to live in the imagination of the oppressor.

Radical Imagination is a practice, and when we practice from a place of connection with our bodies, with the earth, and with the ancestors, it allows us to re-member our connection with our imagination. It opens up what already exists with in us, infinite possibility.

Mariame Kaba says, “Hope is a discipline.” Hope is inherent to who we are, but we forget how to live from a place of hope because we are conditioned into scarcity as we continue to survive in these systems of oppression. We must practice, to re-member. We must work towards re-membering that hope is inherent to who we are, and that the unimaginable is not only imaginable but within our grasp.

In this year long study, we will be re-membering together, grounded in practice, in the works of Black Radical Feminism, and in the our own bodies. You will learn to live in connection with your body, with the earth, and with each other. The tools you will practice into will allow you to bring forth your visions for your community, your life, and the world.

We will be calling on the teachings of Buddhism and Black Radical Feminism.

If you have taken my Embodying the Imaginal course or are dedicated to radical imagination and embodiment in your own way, you are welcome to take this course!

This course is unlike any other. It does not have required reading, or homework in the traditional sense. In this course, you will learn to foster community, build a greater relationship to yourself, and to the earth and ultimately a stronger relationship with your imagination. We are here to reclaim, restore, and re-imagine. When we imagine together, we get free together.

you are here because

  • You’re longing for a space where you can practice personal & collective liberation, radical belonging, world building and symbiotic relationality rooted in trauma-informed, spiritually seeded and abolition oriented guidance

  • You long for a future in which every body belongs and abolition is not just a dream but a reality (you just don’t know where YOU could start building this future NOW)

  • You are drawn to a radical perspective on healing, one that encompasses justice and addresses the impacts of capitalism, colonialism and power-over on our (collective) body & nervous system

  • You are ready to commit to practicing into liberation and learn new ways of being together in community

this course is for you

if you are someone…

✨ who fundamentally believes that we can do this better. someone who knows we can create systems of care and live in a world that is infinitely more connected.

✨ if you are ready to integrate radical imagination, and are serious about creating the worlds we deserve.

✨ who is curious about the ways that we can change the world and is ready to find out who you are capable of becoming.

✨ if you are ready to unlearn our collective conditioning from the systems of oppression

✨ if you are ready to learn how to tap into your power, and unlearn wielding power for dominance.

✨ who wants to connect to your dreams, who wants to learn what else is there. what other realms we can traverse.

✨ who wants to help support the world in healing. if you are a change maker, a storyteller, a dreamer, and a lover.

no matter who you are, you can change the world through the power of your imagination.

you will leave with

  • a freer relationship with your imagination, intuition, and to your ancestors.

  • an integration of radical imagination and spiritual abolition.

  • a deeper understanding of how oppression (and trauma) lives in the body and how to shift those patterns toward liberation.

  • a deeper connection to the earth, to yourself, and to our interbeing.

  • a renewed connection to hope, pleasure, joy, and your visionary self.

  • a roadmap to come back to co-creating the world and life you want.

Testimonials

🌀 Frequently asked questions 🌀

  • Radical imagination sees the world not as it is, but as it could be: a healthy planet that is just and equitable for all.  Radical imagination does not simply accept the status quo, it recognizes that the world can and should change.  And how the world could be is not simply better, it’s radically different.  Radical imagination is the courage to envision a future that is completely unlike the world we have today.  It is limitless.  It doesn’t react to or get discouraged by current realities.  It imagines — without constraint — that anything is possible and that, collectively, we are capable of achieving the impossible. 

    If the future you see gets a reaction such as “that will never work,” then you know you are engaging in radical imagination!


    – Everyday Activism Network

  • YES! no matter who you are, radical imagination is for you!

  • radical imagination is a great tool to have in your toolkit. especially if you often feel hopeless, or burnt out. you can take refuge in your imagination, and in your dreams. we must dream it to build it. so allow yourself to dream, to roam free in your imagination. in doing so you are not only freeing yourself, but the world. we get free together.
