An eight-week course exploring what love looks and feels like in fragmented, uncertain times.

Each session invites participants into a space of story, sensation, and self-inquiry. We’ll gather around poetry, myth, visual materials, personal storytelling, tarot, and psycho-geographical walks to collectively consider: What is love when the world feels hostile? What does it mean to stay open, to stay connected, to stay soft and strong?

The course will weave together:

• Myth and story as a way of speaking into and out of personal experience

• Poetry and lyric fragments by writers like Ocean Vuong, Anne Carson, Alice Oswald, and James Baldwin

• Tarot and archetypal inquiry, not as fortune-telling but as poetic prompts and mirrors for what’s surfacing

• Psychogeographical walks — attuning to place, body, weather, and emotion (inspired in part by Will Self, who supervised my MA in London)

• Shared reflection and embodied writing practices, trauma-informed and consent-led

• A focus on creative ritual, gentle co-holding, and making meaning together
