Confounded by what to do and how to be in your role right now? What does it mean to be focused on a vision of racial equity, well-being, gender justice, economic health when people, institutions, and the systems that have allowed most of us to at least limp along are literally under attack?
With manufactured chaos causing increased threats and real impacts to our safety, our communities face even greater challenges in understanding how and where to strategically invest time, money, and energy. Part presentation and part experiential workshop, this mini-lab led by Change Elemental is designed to meet this moment by supporting us to move in complexity and chaos toward visions of a more just and safer future.
Participants will be invited to learn more about and/or deepen your practice of:
Advancing liberation and sovereignty
Sharing leadership and power
Valuing multiple ways of knowing
Creating space for inner work
Influencing complex systems change
Working with real-life examples, we will dive into what a future of liberation and sovereignty---a future that centers interdependent, whole people and whole communities---looks like and how we might be in support of nonprofits who are actively engaging in the strategies of blocking attacks, building power, cultivating belief, and bridging communities.
Whether you are an evaluator seeking to disrupt existing mental models for evaluating strategy or measuring impact or you're a program officer seeking ways to disrupt power dynamics and build meaningful partnership within the communities you serve, this experience will lead to specific actions for moving effectively with purpose in this moment.
What will I learn?
Session participants will leave with:
New frameworks and ideas for applying them to advance a liberatory future in complexity and chaos
A guiding question and tools to support ongoing experimentation
A taste of what practicing liberation and sovereignty can mean, be, and feel like
A call to support more spaces rooted in being in healthy, continuous, and mutually accountable relationship with self, each other, and the more than human world
