Weaving Webs of Care

In this 2-day intensive experience, we will explore how we can begin to weave relational webs of support as we tend to ourselves, care for one another, and cultivate the conditions needed to cultivate and sustain a more liberated world.

We'll unpack how saviorism, martyrdom, and purity politics shape our lives and leadership; tend to our deeply human need for connection, interdependence, and belonging; and explore how we can weave wider webs of solidarity and support through our relationships, communities, and movements for change.

So often we devote ourselves to helping others because there was no one there to help us. It’s a beautiful attempt to right the wrongs of our past, but it too often comes at the expense of ourselves. The work we do in the world really matters, but we are not here to single-handedly save it, nor do we have to martyr ourselves for causes we care about.

Even in the times when we come together to fight for a more liberated future, we’re too often fighting each other. Moral perfectionism and threats of cancellation lead to self-censorship and the fear of exile. When activism becomes authoritarian, our need to be “right” eclipses our capacity to be relational.

We have to become aware of how we’re unconsciously reinforcing and reproducing colonial, capitalistic, and patriarchal patterns of harm toward ourselves and with one another. Because without the inner work, the outer work won’t work.

We are being called to co-create a world where responsibility is shared, reciprocity is valued, and diverse gifts come together to build something none of us could ever accomplish on our own. The only way out is through, and the only way through is together.

Heart-centered activists, visionaries, revolutionaries, humanitarians, educators, cycle breakers, peacebuilders, changemakers, and community builders who are ready to root into the regenerative, relational support that makes collective liberation work effective and sustainable.
