Welcome to Reflections from House of the Lorde

House of the Lorde has always been more than a studio. It is a sanctuary, a classroom, a living altar where movement meets memory and study becomes a form of collective readiness.

Reflections from House of the Lorde is a space for our writings, questions, and revelations. It serves as a digital home for the same spirit of curiosity and care that fills our classes and gatherings.

Here you will find meditations on movement, Black Feminist practice, stillness, rest, joy and more. We'll introduce the artists and community members who shape this space and honor the legacies that guide us.

Our work at House of the Lorde does not end when we leave the space. The practice of connection, study, and self-actualization continues in our bodies, in our conversations, and in our collective dreams. Reflections from House of the Lorde is where we gather these learnings, where we trace what it means to study and grow together.

Whether you have moved with us, read with us, or are just finding your way here, welcome.

May these reflections meet you where you are. May they remind you that the erotic, as Audre Lorde taught us, is a life-force, a guide, and a power within reach.
