Sometimes, living in this world can seem like a never-ending parade of division and pain. For peacebuilders working to heal those divisions, build bridges, and advocate for justice, it can feel exhausting. There is never an end to conflicts to address, people to help, and issues to work on. We can't do everything, yet we see everything that needs to be done.
How do we find the balance we need to keep going when the urgency never ends? How do we keep from burning ourselves out and hold onto hope?
Join Peace Catalyst's Peter Digitale Anderson for an interactive workshop on strategies for sustainability and healing as peacemakers balance caring for themselves and caring for their neighbor. Through reflective exercises and group discussion, we'll engage with spiritual traditions, trauma awareness, and nonviolence to find the practices that help us to flourish and carry on.
Note: This is an interactive workshop. Please come prepared to converse with others and be fully present and on-screen if possible. Because it is interactive, the workshop will not be recorded.
