District Fray Magazine published an online article this May introducing the Tranquil Space Teachers Collective and interviewing Alyson Latham, a founding member. Here is an excerpt:

Described on its website as “neither a for-profit entity nor a nonprofit entity, the Tranquil Space Teachers Collective is accepting donations to support maintaining the online directory and hosting monthly benefit classes.

“We are letting it be a living entity and seeing ultimately what direction it takes,” Latham says.

Beyond the goal to rebuild the Tranquil Space community, the Collective is also looking to engage in conversations around important issues such as inclusivity, anti-racism, fair labor practices and cultural appropriation. Each month, the Collective hosts an online, donation-based class, supporting aforementioned causes and more, including an upcoming June event supporting Covid-19 pandemic relief aid to India. 

Looking back on the Tranquil Space studio, Latham explains there’s so much more to the Arlington and Dupont studios than what was taking place within their walls.

“It was about taking what we practiced and learned, into the outside world, and not just necessarily keeping it in the studio,” she says.
