Team Adaptables

The (super) power of WE!

We are a team of superheroes who identify living with a disability as a fundamental feature of their lives. We believe that DISability does not mean UNability, but rather, it is ability that has traveled through the worlds of shadow and reflection. We believe that disability creates wisdom and needs to be shared. We laugh, tell stories, share yoga, and support each other.  We create content and conversation that are centered around the real experience of disability.  We create learning, growing, and healing opportunities for each other and sometimes for the world at large.

Mostly, we want to create and grow a community to support the experience and wisdom inherent to disability, one that we actually want to belong to.

And specifically, we meet virtually on the first Wednesday of every month for a content-rich hour at 1 pm Central time. We meet in sub-groups, like the MindBodyReads bookclub and the Chat Amongst Ourselves online space.  Additionally, we meet and every third Wednesday at 1PM for a the Team Huddle – a student-led 10-minute mind-body practice. And check in anytime through Circle to stay connected less formally outside of planned meetings. Read more about these offerings below.

Welcome to the  MBS Book Club!

This is a free and welcoming space where stories deepen the connections within and among us. We welcome everyone to join us each month to explore, together. To make this a truly accessible and open space, all selections will be available in both printed and audio format.  Additionally, a shorter selection will be available each month and it’s okay if you haven’t read the whole book. Come anyway! Join us as we share humanity through literature.

Visit the Mind Body Reads webpage for monthly reading selections

Come chat with us in a low-key, friendly and safe space where we hang out and find our own voice. It’s an opportunity for us to keep each other company and talk all things disability and yoga. Contribute as much or as little as you like —  no pressure here. No yoga or disability know-how is required, all we ask is you be your perfectly imperfect self. Let’s bridge the gap between yoga and community in this new zoom room, just for us! 1:00 -2:00pm CT last Wednesday of each month. 

A Zoom link will be emailed to all registered students each month!

Let’s get creative!

Mind Body Creates is a “makerspace” to explore what creativity really means to us. Somewhere where we can share without judgment, a place to process through art, writing, or whatever form your creativity takes. This space is open to anyone who wishes to join. We hope that it will also create room for those living with trauma, loss or disability to metabolise these experiences through creative expression. We want to grow this community together by sharing and listening to each other.

 


April Prompt:

How do you feel growth and renewal relate to creativity?

People can share via email or just show up at next month’s meeting, Sunday, April 19 at 9:30AM CT  and share their thoughts with us.

Happy Creating!

– Laura and Elly

 

9:30-10:45 AM CT on the third Sunday of every month. 

 

Welcome to the MindBody Story Group! In this free and welcoming space, we open to the stories from our experiences of living with a disability.  We amplify the voices of disability. But first, we seek to listen more deeply to our own body, express it in words, or other creative mediums such as painting or collage, then share these insights on our MBS Substack page. This is more than a blog. It’s an invitation to share. To educate. To create. To grow. Join us!
