What is the Liberatory Pathways Cohort?
The Liberatory Pathways Cohort is an evolving and emergent space where relational solidarity and embodied learning take root through facilitated and intimately hosted convenings. Designed as both a practice ground and a site of formation, we cultivate transformation and evolution in how we practice relationships and leadership through oppressive times—engaging in shared practice, inquiry, and collective reflection to shape new possibilities.
More than a structured learning program, this is a space of relational solidarity—a community where participants come together not just to build skills, but to deepen their capacity to be present: present to themselves, to one another, to the histories that shape us, and to the futures we are co-creating.
Through shared practice and inquiry, we learn to bridge divides—between the personal and the political, the spiritual and the material, the seen and the unseen. We move through disconnection toward deeper trust, through isolation toward interdependence, through inherited harm toward collective healing.
Together, we are cultivating ways of being that sustain both people and movements, contributing to the larger movement toward communal living, mutual aid, and alternative economies where everyone’s material needs are met. This is a space to not just imagine, but to embody and practice the conditions of liberation

We embrace emergent strategy—experimenting, reflecting, and adapting as we go.
We are structuring the Liberatory Pathways Cohort around the lunar cycles to honor natural rhythms of growth, reflection, and renewal—disrupting the extractive, urgency-driven patterns imposed by capitalism, white supremacy, colonialism, and patriarchy. These systems condition us to push beyond capacity, prioritize productivity over presence, and sever our connection to natural and ancestral wisdom. The moon’s phases remind us that transformation is cyclical, not linear—requiring periods of expansion, integration, and rest. By aligning our gatherings with the lunar calendar, we reject the myth of constant output and instead cultivate a practice of intentional slowness, deep listening, and relational attunement. This rhythm supports sustainable transformation, allowing us to move with reciprocity, collective care, and alignment with the natural world, rather than the oppressive demand for relentless forward motion.
We will continue to update the themes for each lunar cycles but below is an estimate of when our cohort touch points will be scheduled.

Pricing
We believe that healing and liberatory practice should not be gatekept by wealth, nor should the labor of facilitators, healers, and organizers be undervalued. Our pricing model reflects our commitment to both accessibility and sustainability. We invite you to contribute at the level that aligns with your financial capacity and commitment to this work.
The sliding scale allows for economic equity. If you have access to financial abundance, paying at the higher level supports others who may not have the same access. If funds are a barrier, the community rate is here for you—because access to healing and liberatory practice is a right, not a privilege
We believe in pricing that reflects equity, not charity. If you have access to generational wealth, job security, or financial abundance, we invite you to contribute at a level that supports collective access. If funds are a barrier, the community rate is here for you—because access to healing and liberatory practice is a right, not a privilege.
We trust in the abundance of community. Rather than a transactional fee, we invite you to contribute based on what this space is worth to you and what you are able to offer. If financial payment isn't accessible, consider offering skills, time, or another resource to support the community
To make this work accessible to those most impacted by systemic injustice, we charge organizations on a sliding scale based on their budget size. Paying at the full rate allows us to offer reduced-cost participation for those with less financial access.
