Disgruntled Academics | January 2026
Hello, fellow brilliant academics! We’re writers, mathematicians, theorists, scientists, thinkers, and we often defy categorization. Disabled academics pour love and labor into work at institutions of higher education and learning; however, more often than not, these institutions don’t love us back and refuse the basic labor of meeting our access needs. It’s disgruntling to say […]

We’re offering chair and table sessions – both indoors and outdoors (if the weather permits!). The massage therapists will wear masks and use unscented products. Please sign up for […]

So, whether you’re in a social mood or a solo mood, we’d love […]
Grief in Motion
Grief moves through us in waves — sometimes quietly, sometimes with force. In this workshop, we’ll explore movement as a way to honor the many shapes that grief takes, allowing it to be felt, witnessed, and gently transformed. Together, we’ll move, rest, and reflect in community — creating space for tenderness, curiosity, and release. Movement […]
