Dear Community,

We want to invite you to be part of a very special opportunity that has been more than a decade in the making- The Long View: Advanced Political Education Training. This will be a six-day immersive experience at our Training Center in Boston, from December 8-13th.

We are living through a period of immense transformation. The challenges of the 21st century are generationally unprecedented. Most people alive today have never experienced crises of the magnitude we are now witnessing—climate collapse, extreme wealth inequality, rising political instability, and rapid technological transformation across artificial intelligence, robotics, and nanotechnology. Traditional theories of change, social movement strategies, and organizing approaches are increasingly outdated, built for moments and conditions that no longer exist, while at the same time, older traditions—such as socialism, indigenous worldviews, religious movements, and even fascism—are re-emerging in response to systemic breakdowns.

This is not a casual learning opportunity—it is a full commitment to:

- Deep study
- Reflection
- Strategic development.

If you feel called to go in depth with us in this unique training experience, apply today! If you would like more information on this training, read below.

A Decade in the Making

BANNER 2-20 ([link removed] )

For over a decade, the Ayni Institute has been searching for the right frameworks to understand history and power beyond academic spaces and single ideological formations. Our approach has been deeply influenced by the work of Kōjin Karatani and his groundbreaking Modes of Exchange framework, but also by thinkers like Immanuel Wallerstein (world-systems theory), Sherri Mitchell & Pablo Solón (Indigenous worldviews) that challenge Eurocentric conceptions of social organization. We need multiple perspectives, from global political economy to spiritual traditions, in order to create a more complete theory of change.

This is not an academic training. This is an experience—a journey through history that engages not just the intellect but also the body, the senses, and the spirit. Through lectures, exercises, music, ritual, and collective reflection, participants will develop an embodied historical understanding that transcends simple theoretical learning.

We believe that to think strategically, we must think historically. But to act effectively, we must feel the weight of history in our bones.

Who is This For?

We are in a time where political, economic, and historical education is necessary—not as an academic exercise, but as a fundamental tool for movement leaders who must navigate, strategize, and intervene effectively in this era of crisis.

At some point in every leader’s journey, a critical question arises: Are my efforts making a difference? If we are committing our lives to social transformation, our work must be judged by history. We must develop a deep, rigorous, and clear understanding of the major forces that have shaped societies in the past and those shaping the world today. This requires an education in religion, politics, economics, ideology, and institutions that is not typically accessible to most social movement practitioners.

This training is the culmination of a long search—what some call political education, advanced strategy, political formation, or worldview development. It is a fusion of historical analysis, systemic understanding, and practical application, aimed at crafting a strategy for change that is relevant to the 21st century.

We hope to see you there.

In reciprocity,

The Ayni Team
