Liberation Practice Field

Winter 2026

Practice Abolition. Live Liberation. Build the World You Long For.

Join the Waiting List ➔

You’re here because…

You’re ready for a space that:

  • Holds personal and collective liberation, radical belonging, and abolition as living, daily practices—rooted in trauma-informed, spiritually grounded guidance

  • Refuses to replicate the patterns of domination that have left you disillusioned in other spaces

  • Calls you into practicing liberation and transformation from the inside out

You are probably feeling:

  • Burned out from care work, organizing, or holding others

  • Stuck in repeating patterns of conflict or avoidance — tired of ruptures that never heal

  • Longing for community, but unsure how to belong without losing yourself!

  • Spiritually connected but disconnected from your body’s wisdom

  • Aware of your politics, yet unsure how to embody them in relationships (abolition ideas are just good ideas in the ethers but not habits you can live from…yet)

  • Skilled at analysis, but not at staying present when things get hard

  • Carrying shame, grief, and tenderness that have nowhere to go

  • Feeling isolated in your healing — trying to do the collective alone

  • You’re sick and tired of your wounds (you know them like the back of your hand, but you can not seem to transmute them alone)

  • You’re ready to lose the identity built around your wounds

This is you? Join us in the field ➔

Imagine…

  • Offering apologies without shame, and engaging in repair without avoidance.

  • Feeling seen, understood, and loved for who you are—in community

  • Expressing your needs and boundaries without collapsing into guilt or fear

  • Holding rage, grief, and joy in ways that deepen relationship and connection

  • Bringing abolitionist somatic practice into your communities, movements, and family systems

  • Responding to conflict and harm from a place of embodied care rather than urgency or reactivity

  • Transforming patterns of separation into avenues for healing and belonging

  • Being able to hold & witness others’ pain because you’re learning to hold & witness your own,

  • Remembering and activating the ancestral wisdom already stored in your body.

Liberation Practice Field (LPF) is an 8-week immersive course for folks ready to commit to the skills, capacities, and ways of being required to live into liberation, abolition, & deep belonging.

This is not a membership. It is not a space to “sample” or “drop in.”

It is a sustained, collective practice space for those prepared to…

…show up over time.

…learn, embody, & integrate.

…be accountable to themselves & others.

…practice — not just talk about — the world they long for.

What We’ll Practice

LPF is built around four elemental seasons & four liberatory needs, and we explore each through somatic lessons and practice:

  • Safety

    Earth

    Grounding, anchoring, composting.

  • Belonging

    Water

    Reconnecting with ancestry and the body as living archive.

  • Connection

    Air

    Relationship as survival strategy.

  • Dignity

    Fire

    Reclaiming purpose beyond productivity.

Weekly Somatic Lessons

Lessons are pre-recorded and unlock every Sunday at 6pm CET (Central European Time), ready for you to dive in at whatever time works for your schedule.

Watch on your computer or your phone — our platform has mobile apps for iOS and Android so you can take LPF with you anywhere.

Say less. I'm IN.

This space is for you if…

  • You seek somatic education that deepens your understanding of how trauma shapes the body—not just individually, but collectively

  • You desire to learn embodied practices that help heal and reconcile systemic wounds reflected in our shared nervous systems

  • You are drawn to a radical approach to healing—one that integrates justice and directly addresses the effects of capitalism, colonialism, and patriarchy on our bodies and nervous systems

This space is also for you if you're willing to…

  • Commit to a full year of learning, practice, and change

  • Bring what you learn into your relationships, movements, and communities

  • Engage with courage, curiosity, and care, even in discomfort

  • Join others equally committed to practicing liberation now

This space is not for you if…

  • You are seeking a casual drop-in group

  • You are unwilling to be accountable to a shared practice space

  • You want quick fixes or purely intellectual engagement

Liberation Practice Field is an invitation to stop waiting for the right conditions and begin living the world you long for — together, in accountable community.

    Cycle 1 Alum

    If you are seeking ways to deepen your relationships, learn about the interconnectedness of abolition & the body/somatics, feel more confident in determining what spaces are for you, AND have the opportunity to connect with & learn from an exceptionally diverse group of people who see liberation as a continuous practice, then LPF is for YOU. If you are an imperfect person in search of a container for deepening self-love/desire as well as embracing your hurt/rage, then LPF is for YOU. If you want to grow & be fed in spaces that center Black, Indigenous, queer & disabled experiences, then LPF is for YOU. <3

  • Jon

    Cycle 1 Alum

    I spoke to so many people through LPF that gave me hope. I shed so many tears and caught glimpses of myself healed, holding the wisdom I heard. I'm very grateful for the help nurturing my own little guiding light.

  • E.

    Cycle 1 Alum

    Just being in the room with so many deeply caring humans felt healing and soothing for my body and soul. Care and the team created a beautiful space of connection and belonging. Each session was so full of wisdom, embodied practices and inspiration from Care, Niké, the guest speakers, or other participants sharing their thoughts and reflections. I'm sad it's over but I can't wait to rewatch the recordings.

  • Pia

    Cycle 1 Alum

    You’re in for the most transformative, expansive, world-building experience! I’m forever grateful and deeply honored to have been part of the first round of Liberation Practice Field.
A whole year of learning and unlearning—together with the kindest souls: educators, artists, organizers, caregivers. A year of being challenged and encouraged in the best possible ways. Of widening, longing, and stretching—for each other and toward collective, embodied liberation. I caught glimpses of what it feels like to live ungovernable. To care fully. To embody agency rooted in safety, dignity, connection, and belonging. We are not meant to do this alone.

  • Sifen

    Cycle 1 Alum

    LPF has changed my life. I am not even close to the same person I was a year ago, and it’s all thanks to the program. Learning and incorporating these abolitionist somatic teachings and getting to practice together in community has made the biggest difference for me. I was in a pretty bleak space when I started the program and now my life feels expansive and I’m curoius about moving forward in life, fight, practice, liberation. My relationships, my groundedness, my outlook on my (liberation) work, how I show up, even my physical stance is fundamentally different. Eternally grateful. Join LPF next cohort and feel it yourself!

  • B.

    Cycle 1 Alum

    Liberation Practice Field gave me a space to explore healing through my body, my communities, and my relationships—aspects of healing which western psychology and medicine neglect. I built up my capacity to sit with discomfort, alone and in conflict. I am more confident approaching tension in my body and in my relationships. I am giving myself more grace on this non linear path towards community. The shared accountability of the space helped me commit to my own growth.

FAQs

  • LPF is a 10-month immersive course designed to build your capacity for personal and collective liberation through somatic practices, abolitionist frameworks, and community accountability. It’s not a casual membership but a deep, consistent commitment to embodied transformation and relational practice.

  • LPF is a cohort-based learning experience (that we call cycles) with a 10-month somatics curriculum, guest expert workshops, facilitated practice sessions, community support, and ongoing resources. The program is structured with an intentional arc — it’s not a drop-in membership or on-demand subscription. When you enroll, you commit to the full cycle for deeper, sustained growth.

  • While we highly encourage live participation for connection and real-time practice, we understand that may not be possible for everyone all the time. All live calls are recorded and available to stream in the LPF portal so you can engage with the content on your own schedule.

  • You can pay the full tuition upfront, or choose an installment plan at checkout. Lifetime access to the course recordings and materials is granted only after tuition has been paid in full.

  • Within 7 days of purchase OR on or before Sunday, November 2, 2025* (whichever is later): You will be entitled to a refund of your payment, less a 5% admin fee to cover irreversible credit card processing fees and our team’s labor.

    After 7 days from purchase OR after November 2, 2025* (whichever is later): If a payment is processed after you’ve submitted a complete Cancellation Request Form, we will refund it. No refunds will be granted for any other reason.

  • The course invites consistent engagement but supports pacing that respects your life circumstances. Our regular events include:

    • somatic teaching: 2-3 hours per month

    • somatic practice session: 2 hours per month

    • community call: 2-3 hours once per quarter

    • guest speaker call: 2 hours about once per month

    Of course, you can dedicate more time for personal practice and community engagement.

  • Absolutely. Recordings will be available for all live sessions so you can watch and practice according to your own time zone and schedule. However, if you know you usually benefit most from attending live, please take that into consideration when deciding to join.

  • LPF is hosted on a platform called Circle, where you will be able to connect with other folks in your newfound community. This space is designed for sharing, asking questions, and finding accountability partners. The community culture is grounded in respect, care, and mutual support rooted in abolitionist values.

  • We are committed to offering 20 full scholarships to center and affirm Black participants in this space, with more added depending on enrollment. We will review applications on a rolling basis and award scholarships first-come-first-served, so please apply early if you are eligible!

    If you are not eligible for a scholarship and cannot afford the course this year, take a moment to reflect:

    • Am I realistically able to make this financial commitment right now?

    • Would joining put me in a position of stress or harm?

    • Can I plan to set aside funds to participate in a future cycle?

    If the answer is no for this year, that’s okay. LPF will be here in the future. There are also more accessible ways to engage with the work in the meantime, such as our zines and workshops.

  • Growth and transformation can be challenging. This course is designed to hold space for discomfort, with support through community calls and coaching. Your courage and commitment to lean into the work are valued and respected.

  • No. Course materials and recordings are for your personal use only and sharing is prohibited to protect the integrity and safety of the learning community.
