POLYCRISIS CARE
“. . .any place you see in your culture where you do not fit, your culture needs you. They need precisely what you have. They need the gifts that you have brought, they need the energy and all the love that you have brought with you. . .”
— Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estés
POLYCRISIS: noun
“the simultaneous occurrence and interaction of multiple interconnected crises across various domains, creating a complex and intertwined web of challenges.” (Reality Studies)
Polycrises have no single cause or solution and interact in such a way that exacerbates the consequence of and solution to any singular crisis. Polycrisis is both systemic and global in nature, holds much emergence, and can leave us in a state of overwhelm or denial. We are actively encountering climate change, racism, pandemic denial, structure collapse, genocide, anti-immigrant sentiment, economic instability, inequity, late stage capitalism, etc. Alone any one of these crises is significant–taken together we find ourselves entangled in a reality that seems insurmountable.
If you are paying attention, you are likely carrying grief. You are asking questions. How could you not be? And, it’s likely you are acutely aware that living through this polycris means components of life will not be the same. You suspect that accepting this truth is a key component to weathering these days and to acting in alignment with your values.
These offerings are intended to be a support for navigating this unique time we are in, to acknowledge your grief and then use its sacred properties to intentionally imagine and work toward a grief-aware and livaable future
CURRENT OFFERINGS
One-on-one polycrisis care
Fifty minute one-on-one sessions where I hold space for you to process grief and questions/curiosities stemming from the time we are living in. This is not an easy time and, yet, we each have an important part to contribute.
I act as a witness and guide, encouraging you as you realize your inner wisdom and how you most want to show up in this time.
Coming Soon: Winter 2026
A grief conspiracy:
the practice of un-becoming
A Grief Conspiracy is a membership-based practice group comprised of a mix of in-person and online monthly practice groups and a members-only page with practice resources and other relevant content for developing our practice.
In these monthly gatherings we practice conspiring (“breathing/being together”) as we work with and through our grief. To approach grief as a practice for which we build strength over time, is to likewise practice un-becoming: the un-becoming of what we have internalized living within supremacist, capitalist, and violent systems. It is also to practice the world in which we wish to live in.
Each gathering includes an opening, prompt for reflection, discussion, an action, and closing.
Coming Soon: early spring 2026
grief cartographies: mapping our grief
Grief has a proximate nature to it–we often easily recall where we were when processing our grief, where we were witness to death or significant change, and the geographic location of a life-changing event.
How is this proximity integral to our grief work and expanding our grief awareness? In this three-part class, we will consider borders and border regions, contemplate the relationship between grief and location, and learn more about where we experience grief in our bodies. We will use art as a portal for mapping our grief experiences in place and time.
