Modules of the Modern Consort
Dancing with the disconnections of the dominant culture through month-long modules
The Modern Consort is a container for non-ordinary awareness, where we expand our capacity for aliveness by exploring specific types of disconnection that are inherited from the dominant culture.
Normally, it's a three-month journey that is run twice per year. But here, you can find one-month modules that you can run on your own time outside of the live container.
How Does it Work?
Each module includes four weeks of content: For the first three weeks, you are sent materials that prompt you to explore a particular kind of awareness. For the fourth week you are prompted to rest, digest, and integrate what you explored.
Experiments
Each week you are sent an awareness experiment and play prompts which suggest ways that you can run it. These prompt your exploration into a specific kind of disconnection.
Audio Recordings
Each week includes a 10-30 minute audio recording that elaborates on the theme, experiment, cultural context, and that week's play prompts for you to listen to at your leisure.
Print-Out Cards
Once you download your module, you will receive a link to cards that have the experiments and play prompts for you to print out. Place them throughout your space to spark your awareness at random.
Extra Resources
Each week you are also sent curated resources such as readings, poems, talks, or videos that will support you to go deeper into the particular exploration for that week.
