Hella Radical Inclusion: How to fix broken, racist systems

Do you find yourself feeling burned out and not knowing what to do about it? Sometimes, we get so caught up with work, school, and activism that we forget to listen to the stress signs from our bodies. This is particularly true for those of us who are BIPOC, first generation, and LGBTQ professionals—in addition to over-extending ourselves in order to “fit in” are also the product of generational race, gender, and sex-based trauma.

At a time when so many of us are looking to heal and manage stress, this workshop will teach individuals how to better identify signs of burnout within yourself and develop a practice of healing your trauma.
