Hi Reader, 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 my Jiu-Jitsu class for Fall term. I'm really excited to see the growth in folks interested in learning personal safety skills. If you are interested in signing up for the October or November workshop, which is the last one this year, or if you are thinking of joining the Fall Jiu-Jitsu Cohort, please take a look below. October Happenings: 2) Fall Cohort Jiu-Jitsu class registration closes on October 10 and will not be opened again until November 1. This 12-week course meets every Friday from 6:30 to 7:30pm and Sunday from 9:00 to 10:00am and is designed for a deeper dive into the curriculum and developing reflexes by training more frequently. To ensure student progression, registration is open only at the beginning and middle of the course. For more details, please visit ​this page. Half and full term enrollment options are available. Prospective students are welcome to try a free class. Please reach out if you have any questions. Thank you for reading! Hope to see you at a workshop or in the cohort class soon! Sincerely, Holly (she/they)

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...
Dear Reader,I hope you are doing well in midst of the heatwave we've been in the past 5 days! The heat has a way of sapping the energy out of everyone. I'm looking forward to some cooler temperatures in the upcoming week to recover.
