We are living in incredibly chaotic times. Current problems seem more difficult than ever to resolve. Our world faces a polycrisis of urgent, overlapping, and simultaneous tipping points in all realms: environmental, economic, political, and social. This reality presents enormous challenges for concerned individuals to feel that their actions can make real, positive change. Feelings of isolation, overwhelm, and a sense of hopelessness that meaningful change is possible are very discouraging and can easily lead to burnout and feeling unable to act. This is an innovative course designed to explore this vital interplay, offering participants a holistic approach to activism that combines deep internal work with effective external strategies.
This course is designed for activists, community organizers, and anyone passionate about social change. The carefully structured program guides you through the process of cultivating personal awareness, emotional resilience, and psychological growth. The course also supports developing practical skills for organizing, advocacy, and community engagement. Join us as we explore ways to avoid getting stuck in painful emotions. Learn how to work with these emotions to transmute them into liberatory action.
This free program was curated and designed by Move to Amend, the coalition working to dismantle corporate personhood and the influence of money in politics. The program was developed as part of our commitment to our values of community and continued learning.
Tara will introduce the course (link HERE) and guide participants “the way through” transforming our personal feelings into positive individual and/or collective action.
