Welcome to the Imaginal Portal! During this year long journey, we will be exploring radical imagination, spiritual abolition, world building, and deepening our study of the imaginal, of all that is possible. The worlds we long for are asking for us to re-member we are free, and for us to re-member that we deserve to live in the imagination of liberation, 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 each other, with the earth, and with the ancestors, it allows us to re-member our connection with our imagination and with our liberation. 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. We are conditioned into scarcity, understandably, as we continue to survive in these systems of oppression. 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 exploring what it means to re-member together, while grounded in practice, in the works of Black Radical Feminism, Indigenous liberation, and in the teachings of the Buddha, all while coming back into connection with our bodies. The tools you will practice into will allow you to bring forth your visions for your community, your life, and the world.

We are here to reclaim, restore, and re-imagine. When we imagine together, we get free together.

Why the Imaginal Portal?

The Imaginal Portal felt like a dream that came from you. For years you have left feedback after a course ended that the the work has just begun. and it’s true! I have benefitted deeply from regular practice spaces throughout my life. In Buddhism, it is suggested that we spend 75% of our time in practice, and 25% in study. and studying together is my favorite way to learn. practicing together is the path, that is the work of liberation. this year long study is my answer to this longing for us to go deeper.

a Buddhist prayer: 
may this space be of deep benefit, not only for ourselves, but for the liberation of all beings everywhere. 

Special Guest Facilitators

Schedule

Starting in January we will meet twice a month. One 2 hour session facilitated by me, and another 1 hour session where folks can share practices, art, stories, or anything they have created or feel called to share. We are in the process of scheduling guests for this course, so some dates may change and some may be added! Sessions will be recorded for those who can’t make it live.

This course will move through four big themes that will correlate to the seasons.

❄️ Winter: coming home to your body, resting, reconnecting

🪻 Spring: cultivating hope, connecting with the earth

🌞 Summer: visioning a new world, moving into being

🍁 Fall: building a new world, rooting in community

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
