Movements

Resourcing and sustaining movements and supporting embodied leadership.

We create space for programming that is responsive to political moments, to support the capacity of activists, prevent burnout, conflict and sustain the longevity of our resistance to state violence and oppression.

Our Movement Medicine programme connects and resources movement leaders through training, networking and practice spaces. It facilitates collaborative work to create, test and build practices and alternatives, as well as share and scale learning. It supports us to become skillful in navigating sites of breakdown such as conflict, depletion, collective trauma and resource scarcity etc. towards robust ecosystems of collaboration and shared learning.
