Introducing an empowering and inclusive view of resilience.
Feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, or numb amidst life’s challenges?
You’re not alone. Every day, we face personal, professional, and relational hurdles and larger global issues impacting our collective well-being. It all takes a toll on our mental, emotional, and physical health.
If you’ve struggled to find effective, sustainable ways to cope with the stress of life, it’s not your fault! Most approaches to healing focus too much on the individual, don’t adapt to your needs and circumstances and ignore the big issues that affect us all. With Resilience for Liberation, you’ll explore an approach to resilience that is inclusive, supportive, and empowering for everyone.
We get free together.
Watch Resilience for Liberation and learn how to nurture personal and collective resilience that’s more connected, hopeful, and liberating for yourself and those around you.
We understand that life is challenging and that traditional approaches to building resilience can be isolating and unhelpful. Our workshop is different. We focus on understanding how societal factors impact our wellbeing and how we can support ourselves and each other to create positive change in our lives and our world.
Resilience is often defined as the ability to bounce back from adversity, suggesting that building resilience is a personal and punishing experience.
This individualized definition of resilience is problematic because it can lead to feelings of shame and inadequacy for people who struggle to recover from challenging situations. It also fails to take into account the circumstances that make people vulnerable in the first place!
Our approach to resilience is different. We consider the impact of systemic factors on our individual and collective resilience. And we offer an approach to growing personal resilience that supports us in setting boundaries and creating meaningful change in ourselves, our families, our workplaces, our communities, and beyond.
Our goal? Reduce stress and grow resilience so we have the capacity to change the systems that are causing us harm.
“I want to be resilient, and I want the world to be soft and gentle.”
