Two Opportunities for Change-Makers
Let's Gather!
Are you also experiencing the drive to get together and make magic happen? That itch to be in the same space as other inspiring movers and shakers? Here’s a few things that are happening in the international change-maker ecosystem you should be aware of:
Transformative Mental Health Spring Cohort (closes Feb 26th!)
22+ hours of content • 50 faculty • Accessible pricing
The Core Curriculum provides a robust and grounded introduction for individuals who are early in exploring and unpacking the challenges of our modern mental health system, and unsure where to begin.
What makes the Core Curriculum Learning Experience so powerful? The people.
In this video, hear from Nia as they share what it’s like to be part of a cohort — a space where practitioners, organizers, healers, survivors, and people with lived experience come together to learn, unlearn, and imagine new possibilities for care.
While the curriculum’s video lessons offer rich historical context, critical frameworks, and practical tools for rethinking mental health, the Learning Experience format brings the material to life through facilitated meetings where participants reflect together, engage in meaningful dialogue, and practice integrating these ideas into real-world contexts.
Expect a space that can be grounding, challenging, validating, and thought-provoking — a place to grow in relationship with others doing similar work.
Nia is co-facilitating Cohort 1 (Mondays, 11 am-12:30 pm ET) this spring. Four cohort options are available to accommodate a range of schedules.
Enrollment closes tomorrow, Thursday, February 26 at 11:59 pm ET! If you’ve been looking for a thoughtful, collective container for learning and transformation, this may be the moment to join us.
Young Peace Builders Program (closes Mar 15th!)
This incredible initiative helps young peacebuilders navigate inner healing and build resilience, setting the stage for greater inner peace. In parallel, participants build their capacity to lead peacebuilding initiatives in their communities, countries, and regions by taking part in the open, online Collective Leadership Specialist workshop series.
I am thrilled to be offering 3 workshops as part of this program in collaboration with the Collective Leadership Institute!
19 Aug: “Practices For Inner Transformation: Cultivating Emotional Intelligence and Embodied Wisdom” Inner Peacebuilding Session 1
21 Oct: “Mapping Your Inner Ecosystem: Embracing Multiplicity and Aligning Values” Inner Peacebuilding Session 2
9 Dec: “Somatic Parts Work: Resolving Inner Conflict For Greater Authenticity” Inner Peacebuilding Session 3
Are you between the ages of 20 and 35 years old actively working for peace in a conflict or post-conflict setting?
Do you work through a formal or informal peace-oriented organization, community group, network, or initiative and interested in learning and apply collective leadership concepts and models from CLI to enhance your peacebuilding work?
Are you open to exploring personal challenges you may be having in a safe space with our expert inner peacebuilding partner and other Young Peacebuilders?
