Registration for this training is offered on a sliding scale depending on your individual and organizational access to financial resources. Our sliding scale is an intentional effort to distribute resources equitably between organizations and individuals we work with. If your personal or organizational budget allows, please pay the Sustain or Redistribution cost so we can keep registration accessible for leaders and organizations who may not be in the same position. Greater access strengthens us all!

When we manage our time and energy solely through the capitalist value of “productivity over people”, we often are unable to tend to our whole selves and practice the self-care habits that may sustain us for the long haul.

Showing up to nonprofit and social justice work requires us to move with purpose and cultivate a culture of personal sustainability. Managing our energy to reclaim our time means understanding that our personal sustainability is directly related to our daily self-care practices.

Who is this training for?

This is a space for people who work in nonprofit organizations and/or in social justice movement spaces who want to explore what it means to manage their time and energy differently in the context of social change work.

In this online workshop, you will:

1. Identify obstacles—internal, interpersonal, and institutional—that are hindering personal sustainability 
2. Learn a framework for energy management that includes the four core energy needs: physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual
3. Learn new perspectives, strategies, and practices for self-care by understanding how to manage your energy and time differently

Get ready to participate!

Our trainings come alive with your participation and willingness to engage. Please be ready to participate in small and large group discussions and share your experience, creativity, questions, and challenges with us. For example, we will ask you to do an energy self-assessment and brainstorm energy management strategies and practices together. We'll share visual and verbal information, make time for group discussions, and create other opportunities for real-time participation.
