Workshops

Building on our experiences delivering curriculum to six cohorts of Fellows, we facilitate various programs, from shorter foundational workshops focused on concepts and tools, to longer, experiential offerings that combine cohort-based learning with practice. A partial list of offerings:

• Just Transition Primer is our introductory, interactive workshop that offers a deeper understanding of the Just Transition framework and principles, using video, personal reflection, story sharing, and small group discussion.
• Spaces Intended for Us storytelling workshops spotlight the lived experiences of people across an array of often marginalized identities – whether Latinx, Black or other POC; LGBTQ+; people with accessibility needs; immigrants – to grow awareness and motivate action.
• Radical Mindfulness workshops are rooted in contemplative practices for deeper inner seeing of systems of inequity and for support in acknowledging injustices.
• Navigating Conflict is a multi-week training in nonviolent communication designed for activists and community members to engender embodied self-connection, build capacity to reach out for support, and relate to ourselves and one another with empathy. 
• Developing a Social Equity Practice is a 3-day retreat to grapple with power, privilege and difference, and emerge with a clear framework to facilitate individual and organizational awareness of changes needed and ways to work toward them.
• Liberation of the Imagination is an ongoing program area seeking to provide supported spaces of creation in the form of art exhibitions and workshops. As bell hooks says so eloquently, “To be truly visionary we have to root our imagination in our concrete reality while simultaneously imagining possibilities beyond that reality.”
