In these times of political polarization and rising authoritarianism, it can be challenging to act with courage and skill. By exploring our own inner dynamics of power and polarization, we can find our way to healthy authority through Self-Leadership.

Each workshop will have a specific theme in which you’ll have a chance to “workshop” a particular personal or professional issue related to power and polarization through the practices of parts work.

This is soul activism—intended to foster deep cultural change.
