Our Relational Facilitators Program is designed to help nurture a network of facilitators committed to strengthening the relational tissue of our intersecting movements for liberation.
We know the work of tending to the relational tissue of our movements is often invisibilized, or seen as less valuable or less urgent than front line organizing, but that it is just as critical for the sustainability of our work and our people.
Join our growing community of hundreds of movement leaders, trainers, mediators, DEI professionals, community organizers, educators, NGO leaders, coaches and healers who are building relational culture.

Join us online to explore how building cultures of practice rooted in care and justice can help us navigate the perceived tensions between spirituality and activism, or “inner” and “outer” transformation.
The workshop will contain a combination of guided embodied exercises and informal conversations that build bridges between “inner” meditative/spiritual practice and “outer” social action based on our model, CourageRISE (https://courageofcare.org/our-theory-of-change/).
This training is for international development and humanitarian aid workers who are seeking compassionate, anti-oppressive, trauma-informed, healing-centered practices for working with colleagues, leading teams, and building partnerships. The training uses the CourageRISE framework to guide participants toward relational cultures of care that sustain individual wellbeing in the service of their broader work for transformative, systemic change. The tools and skills learned in this course will help participants break away from workplace cultures that are stuck in ‘survival mode’ and often end up unintentionally reinforcing colonial and oppressive practices like toxic power imbalances, a sense of not belonging, employee burnout, hopelessness, and despair. The course will use a mix of inquiry, reflection, somatic practices, and discussions.

Are you committed to the integrity of your personal, professional and community relationships, but sometimes struggle to “keep your seat” under stress or in the heat of conflict? If you long to bring more integrity and compassion to your relationships with your friends, colleagues and beloveds, this workshop is for you!
In our time together, you’ll be introduced to our embodied model of working with “stress shapes” in an engaging and empathic way. You’ll learn about some of your own patterns of contraction—or pulling away from relationship—under stress; gain insight into others patterns under pressure; and learn practices to find your way back to more presence, shared power, and committed, compassionate connection.
This symposium is designed to help affirm and visibilize the art of relational culture building. This gathering will draw presenters and participants from various movements, disciplines, and contexts to share approaches, challenges, and practices for strengthening relational culture in movement spaces. We hope that this symposium can serve to foster confidence and competence, weave connections, and strengthen our growing practice community.

Our Kin Skillshare is a co-learning space to help Relational Facilitators deepen their understanding of the CourageRISE framework, refine and adapt skills and curricula for their specific work or context, support them in delivering CourageRISE based programming into their specific context, and strengthen their connections with other relational facilitators in the cohort.
Our next skillshare will be on the theme of stress shapes! Participants will have an opportunity to explore the underlying theory, frames and approaches that shape our model, and dig deeper into leading this work with a broader systems lens. The group will meet on alternating Tuesdays from 1-2:30pm ET.
This program is open to all who have completed our Relational Facilitators Program (previously Courageous Leaders).
How do our own edges and shadows show up in and inhibit our capacity to facilitate and hold space?
For our next Peer Process Group, we will convene around the edges of emergence, risk, responsibility, and complexity. Sessions will include some guided practice, somatic inquiries, discussion and reflection. The group will meet on alternating Tuesdays from 1-2:30pm ET.
The program is open to all who have completed our Relational Facilitators Program, or our past Courageous Leaders programs.
Succulence is a healing and integration program for relational facilitators, coaches, trainers, teachers, educators, leaders and others who work to make our organizations, communities and movements for healing, justice and liberation more resilient. The program acknowledges the toll of care-work on our relational tenders and that we, too, need spaces where we can show up fully in service of our own healing and integration.
The name succulence aims to capture the juicy, abundant joy inherent in healing work, while recognizing the ways in which many of us have learned to survive within systems of scarcity.
Join us for an experiential introductory session and learn tools to deepen your personal, interpersonal and collective relational practice. Leave with tools that you can immediately apply in your relationships and your communities of practice.
