Join us in ELC!

Every month, you'll receive a lesson on a topic that's important to liberation - whether consent, boundaries, harm repair, etc. - and then the third Sunday (pending necessary schedule changes), from 12-3PM (Pacific), we'll come together to get in our bodies, practice the skills associated with it, and coach someone around how to apply the concept.

We'll come together monthly to learn together, heal disembodiment wounds that come from the white supremacist imperialist capitalist patriarchy, and build capacity in our nervous system and in our skill toolkit to bring more freedom to our worlds. For example, you'll have a lesson about boundaries, and then when we gather, we'll practice the skills that go with them (exploring and deciding what our boundaries are, communicating them, upholding them). We might do that through case studies, role-playing, or working through the language we might use in our conversations with others. We might revisit times when our internal boundaries have been violated and explore the signals our bodies give us so we can be more present and embodied in those moments. This community will combine the theory and practices of liberation so we can embody it!

Why should you join the ELC?

  • We must meet every bit of inhumanity with our full humanity

  • Wounds of oppression are, by their nature, disembodiment wounds that heal through our intentional embodiment

  • Our capacity to be free will depend on what our nervous systems can hold onto, individually and collectively, and our practices of liberation

  • Not having the skills to live liberatory is a societal failure, not a personal or individual one - it’s not your fault if you don’t know how to resolve conflict or move through shame or grieve, we’re not taught these things

  • The dreams we want to see on a large scale will come because we create them in our immediate spheres of influence first

  • The work of divesting from toxic structures includes dismantling internalized whiteness

  • You’ll get to know other people who are committed to living out their values in tangible ways that create culture change

What to Pay?

You probably noticed that there are several payment options. This is because I want this community to be accessible, while also being able to pay my bills and sustain life. Choose what to pay based on what you are able to contribute. If you can pay at a higher range, do. If you have to choose a lower amount because you only have a small amount to offer, choose a smaller amount. If you can't figure out what to choose, there are some guidelines below:

$200-$125

A note from Jessica: This level gives me space to create and make sure I can cultivate some of the deeper work that I share with my clients and with the world. It’s the highest level of investment. If you’re thinking of choosing this level, here are some things to consider:

✯ My identities have historically and/or presently held power (white, upper middle class, able-bodied, generational/inherited wealth, etc.)

✯ I got an undergraduate or graduate degree without having student loans, loans are paid off, or I’m able to put more than the minimum payment toward paying them off

✯ If I want to, I could eat and drink out at least once a week, or more frequently

✯ My income is something that gives me disposable income while remaining fairly comfortable

✯ I can choose whether to work or not and still have all my needs and most of my desires met, or I partly or completely live off unearned income

✯ I have a stable and growing career and/or high (potential or realized) earning power

✯ I have inherited/intergenerational assets and have my own personal assets (inheritance, owning a home, investments, retirement accounts, etc.)

$125 - $50

This is the middle tier of investment and it’s for people who may not have high levels of wealth privilege, but still can invest in things outside of what is considered a necessity (food, clothes, housing, etc.)

✮ I can cover basic needs with some extras occasionally

✮ Someone in my family explained how college and careers worked and assisted me

✮ Annual income is sustaining, even if you don’t have a lot of wealth

✮ I completed a bachelor’s and/or Master’s (or terminal) degree

✮ I’m steadily paying down student loans or have paid them off (or had them paid off)

✮ My family of origin has/had assets (like a paid-off house, retirement accounts, etc.)

✮ If I need financial support, I’m able to look to family, my community or a lender for access to money (I might even be able to get someone to loan me money to fund this)

$50-$25

This is a lower level of investment. It’s a little lower than what I would consider the cost of the offering so it can be available to more people.

☆ My social identities have historically, mainly been oppressed, or current disability impact my ability to create income, as well as my earning potential

☆ I utilize state or federal assistance for basic needs (like medical care, for example)

☆ I was the first to go to college or the first generation to attend

☆ I make enough income to meet mainly basic needs and have little to no assets

☆ Have survival credit card debt that I’m not accruing, but am paying off, and/or on income-based repayment for student loans (or unable to pay them due to size)

☆ On income-based repayment for student loans or only can pay basic payments

☆ I can’t really afford a vacation

☆ I don’t have access to savings and have been systematically barred from receiving loans (besides predatory pay day loans)

Common Questions

  • How long does the program last?

    We'll for sure be here through the end of 2025. How long you subscribe will be up to you!

  • How does the subscription model work?

    It's like Netflix. When you sign up for the month, you'll get access to the lesson recordings for past months and for the current one. When you decide to cancel, you'll lose access. You'll have access to everything and be able to attend calls live as long as you are subscribed.
