Whether you’re new to activism or already deeply involved, the training helps you (re)connect to the “why” beneath your actions and find your most natural and magnetic way to create change.
We offer both online and in-person sessions.
The workshop can be adapted for festivals, hubs, creative communities, and organisational teams.
If you'd like to experience the training yourself, host it for your community, or explore how it can support your organisation, we’d love to connect.
