Classes and Workshops
Ethnoautobiography
Reconnecting to your Ancestors and your Roots
November 20th 1pm-5pm PT
with Jurgen Kremer and Leny Strobel
$20-$40 donation suggested
Ethnoautobiography (EA) is the practice of radical presence. Our modern life has led to disconnection and dissociation from the elements that now necessitate the recovery of this radical presence and our sense of wholeness and well-being. Through the centering of indigenous perspectives, EA offers a framework for reconnecting with: Ancestors, History, Community, Place, Nature, Mythic Stories, Dreams, Holosexuality, and Spirituality.
In this workshop, we will center the storytelling self and we'll share exercises and recommend practices that you can integrate into your daily walk. Ethnoautobiography sees Ethnic Studies and the Psychology of Identity as the critical and transdisciplinary study of race, ethnicity, border-crossings, migration, and indigeneity.

PAST EVENTS (stay tuned for future dates)
Collaborative Connection:
Skills for a Culture of Honesty and Appreciation
NVC Feedback Series
Bimonthly on Thursdays: April-June, 4:30-6:30pm PT
with Diana Kubilos and Shanti Tula
Schedule:
We exist in a dominator culture in which few of us have been trained in the concrete skills for exchanging usable feedback. For most of us in modern society, a sinking sensation of dread and an automatic cringe of aversion comes up when we hear the word "feedback." Whether in the workplace, at a party, or at home, we've all had disappointing and painful experiences with giving and receiving feedback. The familiar dynamic is that of one or more parties reacting with defensive antagonism, self-flagellation, and/or deflective avoidance to what is being expressed by others, leading to disconnection and resentment instead of the productive conversations or satisfying change that they were seeking.
After habitual exposure to this status quo over our lifetimes, it makes sense that we have a tendency to approach these confrontations with some teeth-gritting, cynicism, and an urge to escape. And yet, the insights and opportunities that feedback loops provide are essential for any individual and group to function at full capacity and potential. Understanding how our actions affect others and the larger whole of which we are a part can support us in mapping our strategy for growth, honing our ability to know when/how to stay the course versus pivot, and what to invest our time, energy, and resources into.
In this series, we will flip the concept of feedback on its head by using the framework of nonviolent communication. Together we will learn and practice tools for understanding our purpose in offering feedback, making feedback digestible to the other person, and fostering open dialogue to promote win-win solutions. By applying the lens of NVC, we will show you how the practice of giving and receiving feedback can be transformed into one that fosters an environment in which resilience, efficacy, productivity, trust, and goodwill can flourish. We hope that by the end of this series, you will have a solid foundation on the collaborative exchange of feedback to help you better navigate the relationships in your everyday life with colleagues, family, and friends.
You will attain maximal benefit by attending the whole series, as each session builds on previous sessions, but there is value in each standalone session as well, so we encourage you sign up even if you can't make them all. Recordings of the sessions will be available if you have missed a session and need to catch up.
The IRN is supported by a gift economy ecosystem, in which those who can afford to pay more help make our offerings more accessible for those who cannot.
Our facilitators have donated their services to this workshop series for free, so all proceeds will go to overhead costs for our community outreach initiatives. We are grateful for any contribution that you can make, whether that be in time, money, energy, or your presence.

The Conflict Transformation Summit is an online journey inviting us to reimagine the ways we understand and respond to conflict. It aims to be a resource for us to:
This journey is an opportunity for deeper inquiry into what it means to be human in a time of great uncertainty and major shifts. It is hosted by the Transition Network, The Emergence Network, Starter Culture, and the Conversation Collaborative, with the collaboration and support from a wide variety of partners.There are pre-recorded conversations and live sessions (most of which are past with recordings available), and there are more than 440 participants registered and starting to interact within our online space in Mighty Networks. This is the place to co-create the summit’s journey with fellow participants. The pre-scheduled journey is mostly coming to an end, but the momentum will continue and possibly transform to something more ongoing, the recordings will remain available, and the online space will remain active.
- Observe the mindsets and world-views that keep us trapped in patterns of response to tensions and conflicts that lead to results no one wants.
- Get in touch with narratives from a diversity of traditions and cutting-edge insights from the intersection of different science fields that offer other ways of looking at and responding to conflicts.
- Share a myriad of bodies of practice that can support us in manifesting more healthy and regenerative ways to deal with tensions and conflicts, as we relate with ourselves, with each other and with the world at large.
