PERSONAL POWER
Power is rooted in our societal institutions, structures, histories and culture.
Watching the horrific footage of the killing of George Floyd in America has heightened activism to channel justifiable anger into peaceful sustained & effective action.

Everyone has a level of stamina that comes and goes.
When drained we can be left with little to nothing in our fuel tank.

PERSONAL PURPOSE
The turmoil and crisis in the world and our communities has been deepening.
We’ve been noticing many people questioning and re-evaluating their place in the world.

Making ourselves a priority is brave, having an honest conversation with ourselves is brave, witnessing brave action in others can also spur us on the take braver actions in our own lives.
