[Antiracism] Circle Leadership Network training-of-trainers

[Phyllis Labanowski]

Community Members, Activists, and Organizers
Spirit in Action is offering two training-of-trainers with follow-up  
leadership support for people who share our mission: to support,  
sustain, and connect those who are passionate about justice, love,  
equality, creativity, and sustainability to work collectively for  
deep and lasting social change and for the protection of the planet.  
Spirit in Action fills a much-needed gap that has been identified by  
activists and organizers, providing movement-building tools and the  
training to explore, practice and integrate those tools. Spirit in  
Action's Circle Leadership Network offers community members,  
concerned citizens, activists and organizers the chance turn their  
gaze inward in the company of others, and then to begin to work  
together across difference to create holistic visions and act  
collaboratively towards transformative social justice. All of our  
work within the Circle Leadership Network integrates the four core  
strategies for building a broad-based movement.

The four core strategies:
Connecting with Spirit: Acknowledging spirit is a conscious  
recognition of our wholeness, interdependence, and interconnection to  
all life on earth. Integrating this understanding of spirit into  
social justice work brings forward what inspires and sustains us.
Healing from Divisions: Building a Diverse Movement: Being in diverse  
community is essential to making broad-based change in the United  
States. To enjoy the privilege and responsibility of being in diverse  
community, people are called to recognize that we share both a common  
humanity and particular social identities, which accord power in  
unbalanced ways. Bridging this power divide is at the heart of  
healing divisions.
Collective Visioning for a Positive Future: Vision is a foundation  
for action. The work of visioning has an intrinsic connection to  
action for change - a continuum that includes personal change work,  
relationship and community building, and direct political action to  
enact systemic change. Collective visioning supports the work on all  
these levels.  As we work to change ourselves, create our concrete  
images of a positive future, and vision collectively, we are taking  
steps toward change enacted on a societal scale.
4.   Action for Deep and Lasting Change: Action for deep and lasting  
change exists along a continuum that includes mass demonstrations as  
well as supporting the psychological, physical, and spiritual health  
of activists. Circles serve as a space for doing the less dramatic  
forms of activism, such as self-care, trust and relationship  
building, and the examination of strategy and development of new  
change tools.
