SUMMARY:Mini-Course: Made Flesh
DESCRIPTION:Are you struggling to find grounding amidst the pressures and demands of life? We find ourselves in unprecedented times facing rapidly changing climate on our earth\, deeply divisive political climate\, and an onslaught of media cycles. All on top of our day-to-day lives\, work commitments\, and relationships. It can lead to waves of overwhelm and numbing.  \nThis 6-part series will invite participants into embodied practice (somatics) that support returning to the wisdom of our body for the sake of our own healing and the healing of the world.

SUMMARY:Mini-Course: Tenderness and Refuge: Ministry with and for Young Adults

SUMMARY:Embodied Leadership: Practicing Inner Work as Political Action
DESCRIPTION:Embodied Leadership: Practicing Inner Work as Political Action is an 8-week immersive journey designed for social changemakers\, movement leaders\, healers\, and practitioners who are ready to deepen their leadership from the inside out. This course invites participants to remember leadership as an embodied practice—one that integrates body\, mind\, spirit\, and collective wisdom. Through the lenses of politicized somatics\, polyvagal theory\, grief tending\, deliberate care\, and trauma-informed awareness\, we will explore how our bodies carry histories of power\, resilience\, and adaptation—and how reclaiming our embodied intelligence transforms how we lead\, relate\, and create change. Participants will learn to recognize their conditioned tendencies and nervous system patterns\, build embodied resilience\, and cultivate the capacity to lead from grounded presence. Each week offers a blend of somatic practices\, reflective dialogue\, and teaching to support integration and alignment. This course is for those who sense that inner work is political work—and who long to lead with more authenticity\, integrity\, connection\, and care in service to collective liberation. $1000\, Sliding Scale available\, for an online synchronous cohort experience with Jia Johnson.

SUMMARY:Engaging the Stories that Shape Us: An Evening with Kaitlin Curtice
DESCRIPTION:Stories keep us human\, connected to the core of who we are and what we want to pass on to future generations.” Passion kindles behind Kaitlin Curtice’s eyes as she discusses her most recent book\, Everything Is A Story: Reclaiming the Power of Stories to Heal and Shape Our Lives. On March 11 at 6:00 PM CT\, Curtice will lead a reading and workshop at the Evanston Public Library\, the capstone event in a visit to Garrett Seminary where she will also guide students about how they can employ storytelling in their ministries. The library event\, however\, is free and open to the public—inviting everyone and anyone to consider how our lives are shaped by stories\, and the ways we can harness narrative to better root ourselves for growth and healing. Organized and sponsored by Garrett’s Center for Ecological Regeneration\, this expansive invitation bears the characteristic generosity of Curtice’s prose\, beckoning the world toward transformation. “Stories are the music we set to our own survival as humans\,” she observes. “Communities\, peoples\, and cultures have survived\, thrived\, and endured really difficult times through storytelling.”
