Soils Lab with Nicole | Practice Map

This soils lab is an exploratory practice to unearth R.A.G.E. I’m arriving to this lab with questions, feelings and ideas. I feel hopeful that this will be a space where we can practice together holding the uncomfortable parts of ourselves, our world, our times. It’s a practice that will include guidance from our ancient ancestors: the plantae kingdom and the elements. Please bring a candle and digging tools*.
“‘We were never meant to leave her.’ That’s what Mama said to me as she dug furiously into the earth with her bare ebony hands. Somehow she found a way back. I stood there silent watching and waiting, not knowing yet understanding this needed to be done.”
Rage. Anger. Guilt. Envy. This lab was inspired by Rage. I had a vision for another lab but this week led me to rage and I wanted to have a space to explore it, process it and discover what’s inside of it.

about our soils lab
Soils Lab is a central component of the evolving creative practice methodology, An Introduction to Soils: Preparing the Heart, Mind and Body for Deeply Generative Creations.
Soils Labs are where we explore practices that nourish our soil of creation, the substance from which we create everything we do. Soils Labs center around, but are not limited to, writing, storytelling, artmaking, rituals, healing practices, movement, birth and fertility studies, and explorations in other creative mediums.
attending soils lab
Soils Labs are collaborative-time (live), virtual gatherings. To honor and protect the intimacy of our sharing, Soils Labs are not recorded. We are a Come As You Are congregation and you are welcome to attend as much or as little of the lab as you like. You must be a creator in the Garden who has confirmed conscious participation to receive the access link for the labs. Please visit the Fertility Abundance Garden Welcome Center to join the Garden and begin attending Soils Labs. If you have recently or previously joined the Garden, visit the Sanctuary to confirm or reconfirm your conscious participation.
ABOUT SOFT-TIME
The Garden thrives in soft-time expansions. While the Soils Lab is a collaborative-time gathering, we consciously create multiple points of engagement for all creators to participate in the majesty of our explorations and experiments, whether or not you attend the lab. In addition to the practice maps, our Soils Labs are archived in multiple places inside the Creators Portal and the Creators Shared Diary. We also extend conversations and discovery opportunities in the Creators Channel and Fertile Majesties groups. Mattering soft-time practice spaces is a vital way that we disrupt mandates of capitalism, and continue to decentralize fixed-time and cumpulsory-time standards as universally legitimate and relevant. In making space for the diversity of our life rhythms and labors, we take great care to develop generative, nourishing methodologies that honor the fluid nature of our lives as creators.
