This is a Virtual Event.

As people committed to collective liberation, how do we stave off burn out, jadedness, and despair so that we can remain in this work for the long haul? This virtual workshop will focus on concrete strategies for prioritizing rest and reflection, building more sustainable and joyful organizations, and enhancing individual and community well-being as we fight for the world we need.
