Liberation Learning Series

Bi-Weekly Online Learning Series


Series Description

Within the Intentional Communities movement, we consistently ask ourselves: How can we foster culture change? We know that the dominant culture of hyper individualism is the root of deep harm, injustice, and dysfunction in our society. To create a more just world, we must shift to a cooperative culture. So how do we do this?

There are countless ways to engage with culture change, from personal growth and healing to collective actions, from resisting dysfunctional systems that cause feelings of helplessness to nurturing community resilience for a greater sense of belonging

The Liberation Learning Series explores a handful of these “cooperative culture access points.”

Throughout nine webinars, we will learn from and join in conversation with activists and community-builders who champion culture change; from nervous-system regulation, anti-racism work, and community grieving, to re-imagining our relationship with economy and resource-sharing.  

The Liberation Learning Series will provide you with opportunities to acknowledge our collective uncertainty, engage in often challenging conversations, and inspire diverse ways of taking action- all igniting a sense of liberation towards cooperative culture.

Join us in becoming a culture-change catalyst—one conversation, one connection, one community at a time.
