Dear Reader, Safe Together officially turns 2 years old this weekend and I'm inviting you to my workshop this Sunday to mark the occasion! When I started Safe Together in 2022 as a way to offer affordable and quality self-defense instruction for the 2SLGBTQIA+ community, I had no idea that it would evolve to teaching weekly jiu-jitsu and Kali classes, helping the elderly keep their bodies active and safe, and creating a community of great folks committed to a more inclusive and just world. I'm truly grateful for my relationships with my students and getting to witness the relationships they are forming with each other. Thank you, Reader, for your support as I create a more approachable way to learn martial arts. I appreciate you very much! July Happenings: 2) Summer Cohort is under way and you are welcomed to join class at any time. To accommodate for summer vacation schedules, the term will go to September 15 and there will be at least 20 hours of instruction spread over 12 weeks. Unlike previous cohorts, folks can register for class any time during the term, instead of only at the beginning or middle of the term. For more details, please visit this page. Half and full term enrollment available. Prospective students are welcome to try a free class. Classes are on Fridays, from 6:30-7:30pm, and Sundays, from 9-10am. Thank you for reading! Hope to see you at a workshop or in the cohort class soon! Sincerely, Holly (she/they)

Dear Reader, I have an announcement regarding the pay-what-you-want monthly workshops that I've been holding since 2022. Starting this Sunday, October 4th, I'm pausing the workshops until further notice. I didn't come to this decision lightly. I've enjoyed teaching the community and showing folks what their bodies are already capable of. I learned as much as I taught about creating an accessible and safe space to learn martial arts, working with folks in all kinds of bodies, and holding space...
Hi y'all, What a heavy and weird day it's been. I was under no illusion that the election of one person over another would fix everything, but certainly the way it went made for grief, fear, discouragement, and lots of heavy feelings. My amazing friend, James-Olivia Chu Hillman, and talented teacher on the skills of relating (IG: @inquisitive_human) sent out this newsletter today and it was exactly the balm I needed. There were no platitudes, bright-siding, nor was there plunging into...
Hi Reader,Did the subject line confuse you? Don't worry, there's no time warp happening here and you are indeed receiving my September newsletter in October. With all my traveling last month, I wasn't able to write and edit my newsletter in time. You will get my full newsletter later this month. I hope you don't mind that this email is going to be short and sweet. October is already shaping up to be a busy month. Thirteen people signed up for this Sunday's workshop and two new people joined...
