Dear Community,

We are living through a moment of deep uncertainty and rapid change—climate disruption, technological acceleration, political instability, and growing inequality are transforming our world in real time. These aren’t passing crises; they are signs of systemic transitions.

In this context, political education is not a luxury—it’s a necessity. That’s why we’ve created The Long View: Advanced Political Education Training, a six-day immersive experience for those ready to think and act strategically in the face of 21st-century challenges.

This is a space for deep study, reflection, and collective vision-building. If you feel called to be part of this experience, the deadline to apply is July 30th.

The Long View will take place from December 8–13 at our Movement Training Center in Boston.

You can find all the details below—and if you're ready, we encourage you to apply today.

Warmly,

The Ayni Team

A Decade in the Making

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), who 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 multi-layered approach forms the foundation for how we structure our programs.

Our trainings are designed not only to inform, but to transform. For us, 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. And yet, few spaces exist that offer this kind of strategic, historically grounded training.

This offering 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.
