We are a small working group who met during an international training on sustainable activism in Spain at eco-dharma in November 2014. All of us are committed to working at the intersection and interdependence of activism, personal work and systemic change.
We are involved in grassroots networks and activism in Central Eastern Europe and internationally and are also part of a transnational networks of trainers around sustainable activism.
We felt inspired and compelled by a workshop on generative somatics and committed to facilitate bringing generative somatics courses to activists in Europe. Given our background and given the unequal distribution of resources and access inside of Europe we are especially committed to supporting activists and grassroots organizing in Central Eastern Europe.
We are involved in diverse struggles as organisers, activists and allies:
- LGBTIQ* (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans, Inter and Queer) struggles
- grassroot environmental issues, e.g. climate campaigning, Reclaim
the Fields and anti-coal campaiging - anti-fascist actions
- refugee solidarity, e.g. in Calais and Berlin
- anti-racism
- prison solidarity
Some areas we have been working inside of our trainers network are:
- consensus decision making
- action trainings
- anti-oppression workshops
- sharing facilitation skills
- womyn self-defense
- trauma support
- movement building strategy
Some of the projects we are involved with include:
