COURSE OFFERING: Becoming Wild with Emma Kathryn (JAN-FEB 2021)
Course begins 16 January, 2021. Enroll by 15 January, 2021.
We cannot trust those in power to have our best interests at heart, and the last few months have shown us that authorities are downright deadly when the going gets tough and people rise up. As such, we must rely on ourselves for our own protection and to forge the kind of society and world we want to live in.
This three week course, taught by Emma Kathryn, is designed to give participants the basic tools of rebellion and resistance by focusing upon our own resilience outside of the capitalist system. Through video lectures and discussion, we’ll discuss the three cores of resilience:
Self-Reliance: through personal and communal work, as well as food security
Self-Care: through connection to land, magic, and the body,
Defense: through healing and baneful plants, magic, and fighting
