Spring Up

Last month, Spring Up consultants Thanh, Brianna, and Gayatri came together in Chicago to support the HANA Center () in a Consent skills-building role play after several months of virtual group learning rooted in our Consent mini-class.✨

Participant feedback: “Loved working with y'all, I hope our organization continues this conversation and continues to cultivate a culture of consent, warmth, and support for all” 🫶🏾

Join and .intentional.community for this webinar on May 15 from 2 - 3:30 PM EST starting a conversation about how we practice Transformative Justice in intentional community! This is great for anyone in co-housing or community based living - or maybe you know more about conflict transformation and are curious to learn more about intentional community 🏡 Register sliding scale $10-$40 at ic.org/event

Transformative Justice (TJ) is both a philosophy of care and collective liberation, as well as a collection of practices exploring how we respond to violence and harm within ourselves and our communities. But what does that all mean, really? And how can we begin to implement and embody the ideas and practices of Transformative Justice in our everyday lives? Words and phrases like “community care,” “generative conflict,” and “accountability” all sound great, but what do they really look like in our lives and communities?

These are the questions we will tackle with you in our interactive Transformative Justice and Harm in Community workshop. During these 90 minutes we will dive into concepts like accountability and how we can practice on a small scale daily, how to plan for safety and care, and informed consent. We will draw on case studies and real world experiences supporting communities through conflict, restorative processes, and designing systems to enable transparency and accountability. There will also be space to share situations you are struggling to resolve and get feedback from the presenters and other participants.
