INDIVIDUAL CLASSES
OPEN: Weaving Rituals into Release
February 26 at 2:00pm PST/5:00pm EST
The separation of body and spirit has been superimposed onto many of the people in the pro-abortion movement in an attempt to act as a counterweight to anti-rhetoric. This disconnect has not served many of the people having an abortion experience. This class will be an opportunity for us to discuss and develop tools for ritual that bring us into the body and spirit of abortions.

MISOPROSTOL- ONLY ABORTIONS AND HOLISTIC SUPPORT
Presently in the United States more than half of all abortions are induced with two medications, but globally activists and community have been having safe and successful abortions with just one of those widely available medications.
This class covers the fascinating story of misoprostol, medical protocols, and holistic support and safety.
“I didn't know what to expect with the Herbal Abortion 101 course, but left with my expectations far exceeded and my heart full. It is a class that doesn't offer rote information, but rather an embodied inquiry that shifts the frameworks we use to work with herbs generally, and pregnancy termination more specifically. The storytelling format along with numerous breakout sessions create a refreshingly connective online experience, and I left the class with a vision of what my own contribution to the movement can look like as part of a greater effort of community care.” -Andrea (they/she)
