LIFT Partner / Worker-Owner Phoenix Soleil has just announced two exciting new workshops coming in August:

Play for Connection and Resilience

Fri, August 6, 2021; 1:00 PM – 2:00 PM PDT
Fun is critical but can feel counterintuitive and awkward.

But it really is important because fun, silliness and creativity disrupt and push back against the inhuman oppressive systems and allows space for healing, for invention, for us to be more human. It allows us to imagine the new world that we want, this new world that's liberated, that's full of justice, that's a foundation for us to really, truly live our lives.

During this one hour event we will explore improv games, mindfulness moments, and laughter yoga games suited for video conferencing. Sign up today!

How Progressives Can Root Ourselves with the Currents of Today

Fri, August 13, 2021; 12:00 PM – 1:15 PM PDT
The world's current reality is challenging -- climate change, systemic racism, exploitative economics, poverty, the list goes on. The media is often adversarial, cynical, and looking for the punchline that is the most sensational.

For those of us who value compassion, caring, empathy for all people, and see the constructiveness of those values, how do we maintain our awareness and our commitment to addressing what is wrong without being sucked in by the toxicity of the public discourse?

This will be a 90-minute learning circle with LIFT Partner Phoenix Soleil who uses her background as a diversity and inclusion consultant, social enterprise organizational consultant, Buddhist teacher, Nonviolent communication trainer, a holder of multi-targeted identities, and trauma survivor to weave frameworks that offer our hearts more peace and confidence.

This event is for people who identify on the progressive side of the political spectrum. Sign up today!
