FOUNDATIONS OF RESILIENCE BALANCING COMMUNITY CARE & SELF-CARE
The current events landscape is particularly challenging for politically engaged people. A lot of us are struggling with information overload, risk of burnout, and general apathy when it comes to functioning in this political climate. How does one cope with the stresses of this environment and still effectively work toward justice?
Dr. Tammy Bosler of Safe Spaces Yoga has created a stress management program for DA’s members and volunteers: 5 weekly sessions starting on October 7th from 6 to 7:30 pm, intended to introduce participants to the foundations of stress management and mindfulness, applied to the situation of political action.
Each session is $15 or you can save and get a "season pass" for all 5 sessions for $65.
You can also sponsor another DA member.
