Power is a complex force in our lives, shaping our choices, relationships, and world. If you’ve ever felt the weight of power imbalances, Ethical Uses of Power is your compass for navigating the intricate terrain of power with integrity and purpose.
In Ethical Uses of Power, we go beyond the intellectual, exploring the emotional and somatic aspects that shape our relationship with power. This safe space prompts us to uncover personal stories and heal from the effects of trauma on our perception and use of power. Join us to navigate these complexities, reclaim your sense of agency, and transform your understanding of power.

Thoughtful and thought-provoking. Brave, profound, and wholesome beyond words. Life-changing, life-affirming, and life-giving: I LOVED every second!

It was remarkable how even in such a short amount of time, we were able to develop a relationship with each other, work through ideas together, learn from each other and build on what we were learning.
