Activism for the Long Haul:
Sustaining the Activist
4Tuesdays,Jan22-Feb11th 6:30-9:00pm
Resilience is the ability to stay well in the face of adversity. Resilient activists communicate and think more clearly and problem-solve creatively under pressure. This introductory course combines theory about the brain and body’s natural reactions to conflict and stress with hands-on and mindful learning. You will practice physical techniques to use right in the thick of things, easing the impact on your body and increasing the effectiveness of your activist work. $195 (CRN: 70248)
Setting Healthy Limits
6 Tuesdays, Feb 19th – Mar 26th , 6:30-9:00pm
Although we are born with internal feedback systems to set healthy limits, these mechanisms often become muted. When we understand how the brain and body naturally respond to sudden and ongoing stressors and learn how to keep our bodies feeling safe, we can set healthy limits more comfortably. This ability improves our own health as well as our relationships with others. Participants learn:
To recognize their body’s early signals of feeling stretched.
To strengthen their ability to set healthy limits without alienating others or compromising themselves.
