“Another world is not only possible, she is on her way. On a quiet day, I can hear her breathing,” writes
Arundhati Roy in her essay, War Talk.

In today's volatile world, we're witnessing historic levels of anxiety as a result of war in three continents: Europe, Africa, and the Middle East, climate catastrophes, and an unprecedented level of humanitarian crisis. Jennifer Brown writes her in article, “How Advocates for Inclusion Keep from Burning Out,” that as empathetic allies, advocates for inclusion are particularly susceptible to increased levels of anxiety as they experience the pressure to outperform themselves while representing marginalized identities and take in other people’s experiences. Advocates need to strategize their advocacy energy to prevent burnout and a systematic process to overcome burnout once identified.

In this webinar, the Artist Changemaker, Shumaila Hemani, Ph.D. will offer three essential strategies to overcome burnout based on her upcoming online course: Resurgence: The Deep Listening Path to Recovering from Advocacy Burnout. Combining deep listening practices with mindfulness meditation practice and wellness, Hemani will propose we shift our approach from considering burnout as an individual-centric issue to addressing it as a systemic issue that is a by-product of the hustle culture and needs systems thinking to build resources and support within our social ecology. The participants will receive free resources, including an ebook and audio meditation to support their recovery. This webinar is relevant for any advocate who has experienced burnout during their advocacy journey.
