  The Wild Rebirth of Living Language introduces a framework for re-imagining our world through the power of our words. Through mindfulness and embodiment practices, writing exercises, nuanced discussions, and grounded ritual we will examine the ways structural domination, oppression, and dichotomy are woven into our identities and relationships.

Part etymological geekery, part compassionate inquiry, part liberatory anti-establishment dreamscaping, part co-created emergent ritual, this class is a cauldron of transfiguration guided by wonder. Can we turn a weapon of destruction into a tool of co-creation? Niema Lightseed will be teaching The Wild Rebirth of Living Language...
