Event Description:
A monthly drop-in practice circle to sustain the long haul. In these intense and uncertain times, many of us carry grief, anger, urgency, and fatigue alongside our commitment to justice. The work is sacred — and it is demanding.
Collective Resilience is a monthly space to pause together.
To breathe.
To soften what has hardened.
To remember that none of us carries this alone.
Rooted in Buddhist meditation, Jewish spiritual wisdom, and gentle embodied practice, this online space offers grounded tools to help metabolize stress, tend grief, and restore energy for sustained engagement. This is not “wellness” as escape — it is practice in service of collective liberation.
Each session may include:
- Guided meditation and breathwork to regulate the nervous system
- Self-compassion practices to meet burnout and inner criticism with care
- Gentle, accessible movement (inspired by yoga and tai chi) to release tension – optional and can be done seated
- Jewish spiritual grounding and reflection
- Practical tools to bring into organizing spaces
- Time for shared reflection and connection
Open to activists, organizers, and spiritually grounded justice-seekers of all backgrounds. Come once or come regularly — each session stands on its own. No prior meditation or mindfulness experience is required.
Sample Themes
- Self-Compassion in Difficult Moments
