Together we’ll explore our ancient pasts, collective present, and imagined future relations to the cosmos and our inner worlds.

Each container will reclaim inquiry through six modules: Ancestral Cosmologies, Gravity, Fluids, Constellations, Combustion, Black Holes.

Summer Cohorts

Over the course of the summer, we will offer two containers for collective study: an immersive two-week in-person Atlanta cohort and an expansive 7-week virtual cohort. The series will culminate in an in-person weekend retreat in Wonder Valley, CA.

Both cohorts and the retreat will be co-facilitated by Branden Collins and Raya Hazell.
