Upcoming Webinars
This webinar will share about Spring Up's analysis of the economic devaluation and inequitable distribution of care and emotional labor. As a collective of care workers we will also share more about our strategies to make this invisiblized labor visible, and why we are a worker coop committed to solidarity economy principles.
This webinar will share tangible skills and strategies to respond to harm non-punitively including de-escalation and right sized consequences to harm. This follows up on many of the concepts covered in our harm systems design curriculum, focusing on how to put your harm response structure into practice.
This webinar focuses on defining, identifying, preventing, and responding to burnout in workplace and organizing contexts. It offers concrete tools and resources focused on assessing for burnout, identifying patterns and tendencies related to diminished capacity, and establishing sustainable boundaries.
WEBINARS & RETREATS
Public 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.
Before each retreat, participants will learn about our values, community agreements and harm response systems, have an opportunity to introduce themselves to their fellow students, and to submit questions to inform the facilitation and direction of the live event. At the conclusion of each retreat, participants will receive a list of additional resources and are invited to submit a personal artifact or reflection to the group to reflect on and share their learning. Additionally, optional personal or group coaching can be added to any retreat to support in personalizing and applying the learnings.
On access: these retreats are virtual, offered in English with closed captions. 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. Please ask any further questions in the comments here, via direct message, or by emailing bluelight.academy@timetospringup.org

Harm is pervasive in communities and institutions, how an organization responds to the harm is its accountability in action. The one day Harm Systems Design retreat is great for organizational leaders, people from Human Resources or community accountability teams or entrepreneurs thinking about how to create systems in their endeavors.

The Liberatory Facilitation retreat is structured around the questions, “What does it take to be free together? And, what is the role of the facilitator / educator in supporting that freedom?” The daylong retreat is great for anyone who facilitates learning experiences, whether they are teachers, trainers, community accountability facilitators, or leaders. Through dismantling notions of what ‘should’ happen in facilitated spaces and how people ‘should’ learn, participants learn skills to lead people and spaces towards differentiation and self-directed learning
