A Course in Courage | Introduction | For Paid Subscribers
Courage is a skill that can be learned. I invite you to join us. Course starts August 2026. Tuition is a paid subscription to this newsletter.
I am offering an email correspondence course to paid subscribers of this newsletter called A Course in Courage.
Flash essays (very short), usually with a practice, will be delivered weekly for the next six months or so.
I start from the premise that a world free of oppression, violence, war, and environmental and social injustice is not a distant utopia. It is buildable — now — by courageous people—by people willing to study courage, willing to take action, willing to give peace the same rigor we’ve given war and oppression.
Here is where we study courage. Here is ground where courage lives.
What can you get from this work?
ways to find courage
ideas about personal power & creative empowerment
small studies that build your creative practice of peace
thoughts on how to take action, even or especially when the activism is the community you tend, the thing you make, the story you write
a happier, more embodied, more courageous life
Perhaps the essays will become something worth binding, a book.
To receive A Course in Courage, you will need to be a subscriber at the paying level, which is $33/year. If you are already a paying subscriber, do nothing. I’ll send A Course in Courage to you.
And so, our course in courage, peace, and creative empowerment begins.
Ready to start.
Gorgeous. I can't wait. By the way, some magic gremlin in my computer asked me if I wanted it to summarize this introduction. I need courage. I'm afraid this AI thing is going to render us soulless. Bring it, and thank you!
