Inner Activist

The Inner Activist (A project of MakeWay) is offering a 2-day course called Conscious Use of Power, designed for diverse community members within the social justice sector.

Conscious Use of Power deepens our understanding of the conflicts, polarization, and feelings (such as anger, pain, guilt, helplessness, apathy, and despair) caused by abuse of power and the resulting trauma. We explore the development of our social identities, both marginalized and dominant, as sources of strength and wisdom, and as places of deep wounding.

Practices to get us ‘unstuck’ and help us tap into our psychological and spiritual power will free our capacity to hold difference and to consciously use all forms of power, resourcing ourselves and our communities.
Facilitators of the course work with participants to support the inner and outer changes which build solidarity, ally-ship, and collective power.

Our goal is to support a community of practice committed to self-awareness and skillfully use diverse forms of power to create a more just world.

Through participating in the course, participants will:
✅ Increase Self-Awareness
✅ Build their leadership capacity
✅ Explore how their learning can be applied
✅ Develop on a common language to explore issues of power and privilege

Hello from The Inner Activist!

Our work is to co-create learning spaces to for leaders to reflect and grow in their work towards social justice.

The Inner Activist has taken time over the last few years to reflect on how to truly embody our values of compassionate, reflective and responsive leadership.

We have engaged in extensive internal conversations, consultations and healing work towards this goal.

We will share a summary of these learnings, and the work that is to come.

In the meantime, we are eager to be back in community and back to our work, which is more important now than ever.

Part of this is launching our first two-day course on Conscious Use of Power, coming in May. Stay tuned, follow us on social, or send us a message for more information.

We are hiring! Join our small but mighty team as our new Communications Strategist. We encourage prospective applicants to visit our website www.inneractivist.com to get a sense of the type of work we do. Please note that we will be accepting applications until August 9th at 11:59pm.
