Resourcing for Changemakers- a 10 week course

  By ,

Offered by the School of Unlearning Berlin

Practical skills for Activism Fatigue

Let’s be honest: things seem to be getting worse. On the mat or on the massage table, I see a lot of repetitive stress and overwhelming anxiety about the state of the world. We are all tired and yet, I truly believe, there is still so much we can do….

For this reason I am working with the School of Unlearning Berlin to create resources for changemakers – to support those of us who are trying to make this world a little less scary and confusing and a lot more equal for all of us. But we need to get to the root of our issues and we need to do it together.

What is Resourcing for Changemakers?

Resourcing for Changemakers is a 10-week course providing advanced tools for resilience by bringing together a diverse community of changemakers to practice a more resourced (supported) and relationally healthy (boundaried) kind of activism. 

This course will help you to:

  • Contextualize our individual struggles – we are in this together 
  • Heal internalized systemic oppression 
  • Resource everyone in the context of relationship 

This course is for you, if you…

  • want to change the world but are frustrated with the current models 
  • feel there is a missing link between personal and collective responsibility
  • understand that we can’t apply simple solutions to complex problems
  • are exhausted by how dysfunctional relationships negatively affect impact work
  • believe that diverse input is key to designing alternative futures
  • wish for dogma free ways to expand your perspective in this time 
  • sense that there is grief inside any process that would produce a real shift
  • are brave enough to face your own blind spots 

Format & Facilitation for Resourcing for Changemakers:

Led by 8 facilitators, this 10-week Resourcing for Changemakers online program explores embodied approaches to personal and collective liberation through 2.5-hour sessions. Together, we’ll address the main exports of the Empire (systems of oppression) while working through them in a safe(r) relational container. I am honored to be co-facilitating 6 of the 10 sessions in this course and to learn alongside my incredible co-facilitators.

New Beginnings: What’s Coming in 2025

  By ,

“I have had to learn to invite my broken heart to dine with me at the table. It is meaningless to run now. My broken heart is not a judgment or a crime. It is a detailed record of how I have tried to meet the violence of the world with as much openness as possible.”

-Lama Rod Owens

Dear friends,

As the world feels increasingly insecure, it can be hard to know how to respond. We believe in thinking with our own minds; standing up for love, kindness, and unity; reaching out to care for each other; attending demonstrations for a fairer world, and actively resisting “othering.”

At the same time, navigating overwhelm in healthy ways is more important than ever. At our little studio, we aim to create a space where people can come together, co-regulate, feel safe(r), and unwind—a pause to reconnect with your thoughts, beliefs, and body.

In the months ahead, we will continue to offer our work and love to you. Here are a few new ideas to help us all navigate these challenging times. Thank you for being part of this—we look forward to coming together in the year ahead.

With gratitude,

* Pinelopi and Juli *

What is Community Yoga?

In this thoughtful blog, Juli explains why we’ve chosen not to partner with Urban Sports Club, highlighting how such platforms contribute to high participant turnover and hinder meaningful connections that foster a community. Our grounded, personal approach—centered on care, time, and commitment—creates a space that hyper-commercialized platforms simply cannot replicate.
