I'm working on updating some training material for the upcoming Conscious Activism training offered by and I came across some publications discussing why the term compassion fatigue is a misnomer - I found their argument insightful, it just makes sense. So I decided to make a post. See link in bio for 2 of the publications, scroll to the bottom.

In my bio you will also find a link that takes you to OMPowerment’s signature Conscious Activism training. There are spots still available and they offer scholarships / group discounts.

The training will support you in "cultivating sustainable wellbeing culture and in innovating and organising change work for yourself and your groups and communities.

Over four months, we will discuss our personal and collective experiences on topics including:

Social Justice
Trauma Basics
Self and Collective Care,
Social Activism and Community Engagement."

A resource is anything that helps you to feel safe and supported and helps to regulate your emotions or the state of your nervous system⁠
⁠
What is in your self-regulation toolkit? ⁠
⁠
Building our personalized toolkit involves first taking inventory of the resources we have available. ⁠
⁠
Internal resources, which are self-sufficient and accessible, might include tools such as: grounding, moving the body, singing, humming, or meditation. ⁠
⁠
External resources require supplies beyond just our own bodies and may not always be available. Do you have access to therapy? Community? Journaling? Yoga Nidra? ⁠
⁠
Together, these resources create a toolkit of practices for managing stress and anxiety and restoring confidence and self-esteem.⁠
⁠
Join us to learn more and discover tools to build your own self regulation toolkit. Conscious Activism live and online begins in October. Together we will discuss finding our resources and establish a toolkit for managing stress and anxiety. ⁠
⁠
Register and join a community of inspirational, likeminded change makers.⁠

"I feel more emboldened to do the work I feel called to do, with confidence and a felt sense of the importance of not doing things the way some folks out there are doing and pedaling as "the right way". I feel more confident about breaking away from the mold and pursuing the aspirations I had and now more firmly have of working primarily in non-mainstream spaces, with a greater awareness of how to organise this, how to collaborate to gain funding and support."

🔥We are like the wick of a candle, with our roots firmly grounded into the wax. ⁠
⁠
There is a randomness to the flicker of the flame; there are small, subtle movements in response to small, subtle stresses. ⁠
⁠
Larger challenges like heavy wind make the flames movements more drastic. ⁠
⁠
When the wind blows, we can go out entirely or dance and be in the flow. ⁠
⁠
Through all the movement, we stay firmly rooted in the wax to keep the light from going out. ⁠
⁠
🌱 This grounding allows for movement. The more grounded we are, the easier it is to move with the flow. - paraphrased from an OMPowerment Malakasa Trainee⁠ ❤️⁠
⁠
Honoured to have worked with OMPowerment team member and Conscious Activism facilitator Sanaz Yaghmai to facilitate this important work with refugees in Malakasa. ⁠
⁠
Special thanks to for their collaboration and for letting us use their space

🌱 Sow the seeds of the future we are imaging into the soil of today... 🌱

What, once we remove the term ‘healthy’ from its ableist connotations, does it mean to care for ourselves, to nurture our own growth as those working for a better world?

Might embodying the very way we imagine futures be the path to liberation?

Join Jess and the Conscious Activism for BPOC team starting this September to explore ‘care’ as a way to build better - for ourselves, in our relationships and ultimately for the collective. What might that look like? What role do ‘self-care’ practices and boundaries play?
