My workshops are experiential, transformational experiences. They are multi-modality transmissions in which I center your autonomy, sovereignty, and empowerment.
I am interested in models of learning that give us back our autonomy. It’s okay to not know things. It’s okay to be a beginner. It’s okay to be in a position of needing and wanting to be taught.
Yet it’s so easy for teachers (consciously and unconsciously) to exploit a student’s ignorance to bolster their own ego. To siphon authority from a student’s earnestness to learn. And for students, it’s so easy to give away power, to cede authority to a teacher in an earnest desire to learn.
It is important to swap roles at times—for the teacher to remember there are things they’re still a beginner at, for the student to know they’re capable of teaching.
I seek and prioritize a model of learning and teaching that keeps the integrity of both student and teacher intact.
A student’s attention is a gift.
A student’s ignorance is a vulnerability.
I hold both with reverence.
