Interactive Modules:
Spiritual Activism
Our interactive modules and online courses are designed to guide you through a transformative journey of spiritual activism, blending personal growth with purposeful action. Each module offers a unique opportunity to deepen self-awareness, build essential reflective practices, break away from destructive status-quo patterns instilled by Western institutions and industries, and ignite your passion for justice.
Interactive Modules: Spiritual Activism
These modules are designed to encourage reflection and writing. There are no right or wrong answers, only questions to help you engage both theoretically and personally with spiritual activism and the systemic injustices that shape our identities and lives. Feel free to write and expand on areas where you feel engaged or inspired, especially if they open new lines of thought. This critical form of journal writing aims to challenge the psychic and emotional barriers that prevent us from focusing on the most pressing problems of our time and from embracing more interconnected ways of thinking. The more you write and reflect on your own sense of self or identity construction, the clearer the connections to larger injustices will become, revealing how we are both responsible for and impacted by complex systems of power. But it doesn’t end there. As you progress, viable paths for change will emerge, as each person’s journey is specific and tailored to their own growth.
