In social movement work, many of us have tried to create the conditions for groups and organizations to collaborate. However, at times it feels very difficult to bring people together. At the Ayni Institute, we believe that collaboration can only happen when we are clear on the differences between the many strategies that make up our movements. This means that we can only have true collaboration (ecological thinking/action) in social change if we know what makes the parts of the movement different in relation to one another.

We call these multiple strategies Foundational Theories of Change and we believe that the key to the power that many of us are working hard to harness is found in their collaboration.

In this series we will dive into the following topics:

- Foundational Theories of Change
- Movement Ecology Mapping
- The roles, collaborations, and stances of a collaborative movement
- Examples of simple and complex collaborations
- Understanding how our journey of social change relates to the Foundational Theories of Change

Within our experience in social movements, we have noticed that there are times when we feel extremely energetic, when we are open, we are externally focused, and there is a will to do things. And yet, there are other times in our leadership when we feel differently - we have less energy, we move at a slower pace, and in some ways we are internally focused and feel dormant.

We believe that each stage in a cycle has a purpose, gift, and limits that can be applied to our lives, leadership, organizations, and movements. During the Spring Semester we dive into our leadership and organizational seasons specifically, and provide answers to some of the common questions that come up when we’ve previously shared the framework:

- What do seasons look like in my leadership? What should I be doing and how can I get support?
- How can we integrate seasonality into our work and lives? What are some next steps I can take?
