Hello ,

We wanted to send a reminder to sign up to one of the last workshops we are hosting this year!

Through our new interactive tool, the Training Pool, we have been able to schedule 6 more virtual workshops before the end of the year! Even though we have confirmed dates and times, it is not too late to sign up and join one of the workshops being offered below: 

Intro to Alternative Cultures & Institutions - The aim of this workshop is to introduce various models of Alternative Cultures and Institutions explored through research conducted by the institute in 2022. We'll delve into the challenges, limitations, and opportunities involved in scaling up and broadening the scope of these alternatives.

Intro to Movement Cycles - Drawing from our research and practical insights, we've found that social movements typically require a span of 10 to 15 years to catalyze shifts in societal norms and laws. These lengthy cycles involve the development of new narratives, language shifts, community organization building, mobilization efforts, and the eventual institutionalization of victories. Understanding these movement cycles is crucial for leaders in the realm of social change.

Seasons of Leadership Workshop - This workshop on Seasonality is about the cyclical patterns that exist in our leadership and social movement organizations. Seasons and cycles help us to understand, appreciate and protect the ebbs and flows that occur throughout our time in this work.

Organizational Seasons Workshop - The Introduction to Organizational Seasons is about applying the concept of seasons and cycles, commonly applied in many cultures and traditions to our lives and history, to our organizations and social movements that we are embedded in.

Intro to Emotional Resiliency - During this workshop we will review important frameworks about what goes on during transitions; what it means to develop emotional resilience; what gets in the way of building it; and some resources and practices that can support in increasing our collective emotional capacity.

Movement Ecology Workshop - Movement Ecology is a framework to understand and analyze the 5 distinct strategies that arise when attempting to make social change. We call these multiple strategies Foundational Theories of Change and we believe that the key to power that many of us are working hard to harness is found in their collaboration. 

 We hope that you can join us for one of these workshops as we head into the last part of the year! 

In reciprocity, 

The Ayni Team
