Applications are closed for our July 2022 Cohort. Thank you to everyone who applied! 

The oppression is real.

It weighs on you.

You carry the weight with grace while being the backbone of support

for yourself, your family, and your community.

All while being the moral compass of America.

You are a black womxn.

 

Like all people, you have the power to change the things you can and

 the wisdom to let go of the things you cannot change.

In this way, you have the power to defy gravity.

 

You navigate internalized oppression

(imposter syndrome, self-sabotage, fear of your power, fear of success)

and institutionalized oppression

(losing loved ones, the daily grind, backlash when you are powerful or successful)

 

But still, you rise.

You cannot help but rise because you are built to defy gravity.

You are a black womxn.

 

But could your rise to freedom be even easier?

Could you rise even higher, with less effort?

Could the process of elevation be even more joyful?

 

YES. So let’s do it.

Apply

Join Defying Gravity, a month-long transformational program of

liberation and expansion for all black womxn. 

 

This advanced-level spiritual practice will unleash the next levels of power and liberation you hunger for.

​

Audre Lorde wrote, “as women, we have come to distrust that power which rises from our deepest and non-rational knowledge….In order to perpetuate itself, every oppression must corrupt or distort those various sources of power within the culture of the oppressed that can provide energy for change. For women, this has meant a suppression of the erotic as a considered source of power and information within our lives.”

 

This erotic she speaks of is the complex creative power that lives within us. The power of creativity is that it boldly stalks into the unknown to see what it will find. Creativity is the dance with not-knowing that leads to knowing.

This program uses Intuitive Painting as our guide into this generative space of creativity and discovery. 

 

Join us as we move beyond concepts into profound realization.
