Self-Care Wasn't Built to Defend Against Psychological Warfare

For leaders who know their team needs more than a wellness day — and are ready to offer something real.

We are living through a coordinated assault on the minds, bodies, and spirits of people doing justice work. Psychological warfare — the deliberate use of fear, confusion, and exhaustion to fragment communities and suppress resistance — is not new. But for many of us its current intensity is.

Traditional self-care was not designed for this. Bubble baths are nice — but they cannot metabolize soul wounds, racialized trauma, or the chronic dysregulation that comes from living and working inside systems designed to break you.

This workshop introduces a different framework: Self-Reverence — a healing-forward approach that invites us to move beyond mass consumerism and coping strategies toward practices the help us truly heal.

A healing-forward workshop for organizations whose people are doing justice work in an increasingly hostile climate

    WHO THIS IS FOR

    Justice workers, movement leaders, nonprofit staff, educators, organizers, and anyone doing the sustained, demanding work of building a more equitable world — and trying not to lose themselves in the process.

    WHAT PARTICIPANTS LEAVE WITH

    The Self-Reverence Map
    A personal healing practices inventory across six domains — Mental, Physical, Emotional, Spiritual, Social, and Moral — so participants leave with a concrete, individualized map of their own sustaining practices and commitments.

    The Relational Capacity Grid™
    A somatic tool for reading the energetic cost of relationships — helping participants identify where their energy is going and make intentional decisions about where to invest, protect, and pull back.

  • A large tree with twisting, exposed roots at the base and dense foliage at the top, sunlight shining through the leaves.
