Webinars
We kick off each term with a free webinar, followed by 3-5 more sessions on Fridays through the term. Our Webinars are low-cost community gathering spaces where we practice skills together and dig deep into core concepts. These are discounted or free for our Patreon members and retainer clients. The topics that we choose for these webinars are often representative of the growing edge of our work, resulting in highly generative discussions. Below are our upcoming webinars & you can access our archive of all previous webinars available on bluelight.academy
We also present private webinars! If you are interested and would like to request our collective members to participate in a panel or serve as a speaker for an event, please reach out to us with the event logistics.
Healing work is non-linear with ebbs and flows — you may have a breakthrough and with that may come another crack in the surface the dig deeper. How might we equip ourselves for this constant gut wrenching yet nourishing work? By creating an own ecosystem of healing. There is complexity within ecosystems, layers of nurturance, consumption, homeostasis, and diversity. We use the term ecosystem because all of these components will uphold your healing process — they inform and supplement one another.
In this webinar, prepare for the end of the year by mapping out your care ecosystem and identifying ways to share this toolkit with your pod.
How do we adapt our plans and expectations through shifting capacity over time? Murmuration is how a flock of birds move together through evolving conditions in a self-directed manner. Together, we will learn from tangible tools that our organizations can implement to track and respond to changes in capacity, grounded in disability justice, consent, and design thinking.
This is a partnership between Spring Up Collective and Sassy Facilitation, as part of our 2025 theme: the Year of the Coop!
WEBINARS & RETREATS
Daylong Virtual Retreats
Our public retreats take some of our most requested content from our work with groups and organizations, and make them available to a broader audience. Upon completing a one-day retreat, participants will leave with both theoretical frameworks and concrete resources to support their work within their community. You can book any of our retreat topics for your private org or group.
On access: these retreats are virtual, offered in English with closed captions. All of our daylong retreats take place on Fridays from 8:30am-2:30pm PST / 9:30am-3:30pm MST / 11:30am - 5:30pm EST with an hour break included. Written and captioned video materials to prepare will be shared in advance. Upon registration, participants will fill out a survey to share access needs. If we cannot meet those needs, we will reach out and offer a refund and alternate options.
This summer, we are offering retreats on Practicing Cooperation: Power + Consent in Decision Making, Liberatory Facilitation: Holding Space to be Free Together, Solidarity Strategies: Equitable Multi-Racial Collaboration, and Harm Systems Design: Non-Punitive Approaches from Organizing to HR. Daylong retreats are the perfect way to devote space and time to your learning and growth. All retreats come with a 1:1 coaching session with a Spring Up consultant as well as access to retreat materials on our bluelight academy platform.
