Ember and Root

Mycelial Strategies of Soft Rebellion

free 90-minute immersion

Step into the subterranean pulse of Ember and Root: Mycelial Strategies of Soft Rebellion, a 90-minute immersion where we unravel the quiet, fierce intelligence of mycelium and roots—the quiet architects of transformation. This isn’t a rebellion of noise or spectacle, but one that moves in silence, under the soil, where change is seeded in subtle acts of reclamation.

Shannon will guide us through the quiet but radical strategies woven into the Soft Rebellion writings, rooting them in the radical patience of the earth itself. Like the mycelial webs that stretch beneath us, this rebellion doesn’t seek permission—it listens, it grows, and it shifts landscapes from within. With every root that stretches, with every underground connection made, we begin to understand how soft disruption can dismantle even the most entrenched structures.

What we Will Do

We’ll explore how these methods—quiet, nuanced, and infused with deep patience—offer a pathway to transformation that is hidden, slow, and unstoppable. The Earth is not asking for our conquest, our urgency, or our exhausted striving. It is asking for something softer, wilder, more enduring.

In this 90-minute gathering of teaching and guided practice, we will step out of the machinations of reaction and into a different kind of rebellion—one rooted in listening, in attunement, in relationship.

First, we’ll ask: What is the Earth whispering beneath the noise of collapse and urgency? What if, instead of assuming we already know, we let ourselves be surprised? To slow down, to ask, to listen—this is itself a radical act, a refusal to be swept up in the frenzied pace of extraction and crisis.

Then, we’ll explore how weaving deeper relationships with the land and the unseen might reshape our approach to political and social change. What if our activism was less about burning ourselves out and more about rooting into something vast, something alive, something that endures? What if rebellion looked like restoration, like ritual, like remembering? Earth reconnection is not separate from political action; it is the ground from which truly transformative movements grow.

Our time together will be a weaving—teaching, guided practice, and shared reflection. A recording will be available for those unable to join live.

This is for those who long for a path that resists the weight of the world without fighting it head-on. For those who want to walk softly and powerfully in these unraveling times, planting roots in the rhythms of the earth until the very ground shifts beneath us. This rebellion doesn’t ask for attention. It simply grows, unseen, until it alters everything.
