Gentleness for Today, Strength for Tomorrow
Practicing Good Self Care Today
Maybe you have picked out a great project working today in honor of Dr. King. If not, we want to remind you to be kind and gentle with yourself today. It’s a good day for the serenity prayer (even if you don’t normally pray):
Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.
The coming days will require lots of courage, but we have to have gentleness for ourselves in order to use our courage and strength for tomorrow.
Sending you so much warmth and hugs today -
Heather and Amy

Activist Care Circle Workshop (including 30 minutes of Q&A)
Surviving 47: Post-Inauguration Self-Care
Authoritarians sow chaos by design. An exhausted foe is far easier to defeat. While invaluable, activities led by bullhorns are not the only way to fight a dictator. Each day, each moment, is an opportunity for defiance, by simply finding joy or choosing peace. They want us sad, cynical, afraid, and overwhelmed. You can choose not to let that happen. Activist Care Circle is here to help, and we’ve got two exciting announcements for you!
On Monday, January 27, we are offering a free post-inauguration workshop. RSVP now. We will be discussing:
how to avoid being consumed by chaos,
finding your focus in the disorder,
allowing joy even in the dark, and
how to recognize and work though communal and personal grief.
We will be holding regular workshops and sharing resources throughout the year, and during the incoming administration. The very best way to get the most activist care is to sign up for our new newsletter (that's exciting announcement #2).
Activist Care Circle is announcing a new addition to our activist toolbox, our new newsletter. We will be sharing resources & effective actions, offering workshops, and building communities of support. We are dedicating our more than four decades of combined activism, meditation, and life-coaching experience, to this movement, to its activists, to you. Sign up now for a partner in your activism journey. Let’s make this world better, together.
