About This Course

The world needs healing.

Healing is a critical stage of sustainable, transformative justice work. Yet so often, we feel pressured to rush the process of healing in the name of getting things done or “fixing” what seems to be broken or not working. Or, we totally overlook the process of healing altogether, unaware that healing is not a privilege--it is a necessity for sustainable change.

In this course, we will explore healing as a stance, not as a fixed end goal. Like the concept of resilience, healing involves being able to adapt to our world, to take in new information, to restore, to repair, to reconcile. In its most basic sense, we understand healing to be about restoring relationship--with ourselves, each other, and our world.

We are remarkably resilient, capable of recovering from change and to restore and repair ourselves. Numerous factors support this resiliency: researchers have found that ‘resilient’ individuals are those who: 1) find deep, meaningful connection with others (LOVE); 2) maintain a curiosity about the human condition (SEE); 3) maintain a sense of hope, even in dark times (ENVISION); and 4) maintain a strong moral conviction (ACT). We are committed to helping people deepen these capacities.

In our HEAL course, you will learn learn:

  • the science of resilience;
  • tools for building, sustaining and repairing relationships;
  • practices for engaging generative conflict and repairing interpersonal harm;
  • the philosophy and approach of various healing-centered movements;
  • practices for optimal healing drawn from diverse traditions;
  • the role of imagination and creativity in supporting healing-centered work;
  • the importance of hope and risk taking as healing-centered ethics or practices.

Working on this course has served as a source of healing for us. We hope you find similar benefit and inspiration!
