THE CHANGE MAKER: IT STARTS WITH YOU

~take care of yourself so you can help take care of others~

with Kamakshi Hart, MA

(The Changemaker will open October 19th.)

A timely program for effective healing, positive change and resilience building in these times of unrest and uncertainty. 2020 has put trauma, and the dire need for all sectors of our society to become trauma-aware, informed and responsive, on the front page. Standing forward as a leader in this movement requires courage, stamina and support to sustain the vision and call to action required of changemakers. 

The Change Maker Bridge Course is a six-module workshop for leaders  who want to strengthen a personal and professional capacity for resilience building. Knowing that all and lasting change starts from within is one of the most important attributes of a true changemaker. This course acts as a bridge between The Basics and The Resilience Champion. Each video module will be its own practicum: one plank on the bridge at a time. Included will be an introduction to the theme (or “plank”), a guided meditation, a written journal process (downloadable pdf) and recommendations for self-care and next steps. You will all gain access to 1:1 coaching (for an additional fee) with Kamakshi Hart, MA.

Module 6: Actualization, “. . . the desire to become more and more what one is, to become everything that one is capable of becoming.” -Abraham Maslow

Maslow summarized that self-actualizers have the ability to achieve more frequent moments of joy and tend to be highly creative, autonomous, objective, concerned about humanity, and accepting of themselves and others. Though Actualization is depicted as the apex of the pyramid, it isn’t the end of the journey. It’s actually just the beginning of a new paradigm.

Through the life-changing lens of appreciation and acknowledgment, the goal of this course is experientially revealed. When you and/or the team that you are leading are valuing yourselves for your strengths and intrinsic worth then you will have a true community of human beings who can accomplish pretty much anything they choose to work toward together!

The Resilience Champion Live STARTS OCT 14th. Live workshops are Wednesdays from 10am-11:30 pm PT.

The Resilience Champion Live is a six-week course for leaders who want to integrate a trauma-informed approach in their setting. Weeks 1-2 of this course provide an overview of the key concepts behind a trauma-informed approach from our Basics course. Weeks 3-6 focus on translating those concepts into action.  

This course will guide you as you move from trauma-aware to trauma-informed and trauma-responsive. In addition to reviewing concepts such as ACEs, toxic stress, and resilience, this workshop will also guide you and /your team in establishing a foundation, building your vision, exploring your culture, creating goals, and identifying concrete steps you can take to sustain this approach in your specific setting. You’ll also see cross-sector examples of Resilience Champions and specific strategies that have worked for them, providing inspiration for clear steps to help you get started.

Each week will consist of a 90-minute live interactive workshop with activities designed to help operationalize the key concepts. In addition to activities during the workshops, you will have the opportunity to work with your team in between the workshops to apply the concepts in your setting and report back via an online discussion post. If you are a part of a team implementing this approach, we encourage you to sign up and participate together.
