About

Join us here for conversations with seasoned activists about their experiences in working for a better world. We’ll speak with people from Gen Z to Elders, from a range of ethnicities and spiritual paths, and a variety of areas of activist engagement. (Some of them didn’t consider themselves “activists” until our conversation!) What inspires and sustains them? What is the relationship between healing and justice? How do we recover from burnout — or better yet, avoid it? What wisdom would they share with others that they wish they’d known sooner? What is the vision they are working toward?

As a healer, spiritual leader, and life-long progressive social activist, I’ll share these conversations, plus additional insights, reflections, practices and resources to support you in your life and work — whether you identify as an activist or not.

Whatever your experience, you are welcome here. Feel free to add your own respectful reflections, stories, and questions. I hope you will subscribe, and share this blog with your friends and networks so we can build community together.
