THE LOVE LETTERS PROJECT
Love Letters is a ritual correspondence project exploring love as an applied technology, not a sentiment—a method of attention, a field of practice, and a way of action, sensing, perceiving, speaking.
Love, here, is not something we feel, but something we do. It is a cultivated stance, a political ethic, and an invitation to reimagine how we relate—to ourselves, to one another, and to the more-than-human world.
Rooted in somatics, Buddhist dharma, deep ecology and queer feminist ethics of care, this project asks: What does love do? What does it repair? What becomes possible when love is practiced, not presumed?
Love Letters have appeared in many forms: grief rituals, dharma studies, somatic workshops, barroom rituals, festival post offices. The letter is not written to be read aloud or shared. It is a practice of being acquainted with love and its inherent wisdom -- like the practice of any skill: piano, acrobatics, carpentry - we learn its language, gesture, memory, and method.
This is world-building work. Forming ourselves and our realities around love as a resource, a capacity, a way of being.
THE CARE LABOR UNION
COMING SOON.
RELATIONAL LITERACY LABS:
a workshop series on ethics, friendship, and the labor of staying close.
A workshop series on maintaining friendship as an infrastructure, commitment, and collective responsibility.
Inspired by Dean Spade and Sarah Schulman, we explore relation beyond romantic and institutional models—how to build, maintain, and repair relationships over time.
Each session includes a focus on the somatic experience of conflict, care, and connection. We use examples from participants and use the wisdom of the group to expand possible technologies and applications of care.
Together, we practice finding new collective ways to grow friendship through conflict, good times, and long-term commitment. We practice and apply social medicine.
