Arm yourself with the tools you need to show up as your whole self.

Rest & Workflow for Sustainable Success:

Toxic workplaces send the message that the only way to succeed is to work nonstop and be available during evenings and weekends. However, these methods are antithetical to the way our brains work and can actually lead to low motivation and delayed progress. In this workshop, participants will discover and explore research-backed tools that make work time more effective so they can get back to what matters most to them.

Positive Self-Identity as Resistance:

In our society, marginalized identities are devalued and often derided. Without realizing it, we often internalize negative beliefs about ourselves from the dominant culture. This workshop will help participants recognize, acknowledge, and celebrate the fullness of their identities so that they may navigate their workspace empowered in themselves.

Building Coalitions for Radical Change

In academic spaces that offer little to no support from people in power, it can feel like resisting oppressive systems is not an option. In this workshop, participants will learn how to overcome individualistic values and engage in collective practices. They will identify their needs, practice community care, and brainstorm solutions within their communities. They will also learn a framework for organizing within, without, and against academic systems to meet community needs and enact change.

Community Care as a Tool for Thriving:

While Audre Lorde taught us that caring for ourselves is political warfare, the current conversation about self-care can be laced with notes of capitalism, colonialism, and individualism. In this workshop, participants will reframe self-care within a community context and learn how to resist oppressive structures through collective principles.
