Week 1: Self Work as World Work 

We break down the relationship between self work and world work as you learn the stories that shape our world

This lesson you’ll also get a good opportunity to connect with your fellow cohort and set some group intentions for the program.

Laying the groundwork of ‘getting free’ you’ll learn to identify the belief patterns of patriarchy and capitalism and the ways we have internalised them, as well as how story and system interconnect.

Weeks 2: Perfectionism & The Patriarchy

Perfectionism is about control, and a natural response to a lack of power.

It’s also a form of internalised patriarchy and capitalism that says you’re never quite enough. 

Getting free means unlearning the ways we have internalised patriarchy, leading to self-doubt, perfectionism, and self-shaming.

“When the forms of an old culture are dying, the new culture is created by a few people who are not afraid to be insecure.”

Week 3: Capitalism, Scarcity & Abundance 

Cultivating an abundance mindset isn’t about pretending inequity doesn’t exist.

It’s untangling ourselves from the false scarcity emedded in capitalism and patriarchy. It’s learning to meet our physical, spiritual and emotional needs.

Because overworking doesn’t change the world.

Burnout doesn’t change the world.

And buying your way to power doesn’t change the world if you haven’t gotten free.

Week 4: Know Your Power

If we want to be powerful changemakers…

If we want to rewrite cultural stories….

If we want to be part of making love & justice accessible for all…

Then we need to trust and understand our own power.

This week you’ll learn about paradigms of power, the difference between power, domination & control, and how you can embody power that is just & regenerative.

Week 5: Wielding Power

Knowing your power is one thing.

Understanding how to steward and share power is another.

We’ll be looking at power dynamics and healthy, ethical ways of challenging them.

‘Cause we got things to do in this world, and power is what we need to get them done.

Week 6: Love Your Anger

Anger has an important place in changemaking – it’s a just and moral response.  But when we don’t know how to relate to it, its spark can quickly become an all consuming fire which churns us up and burns us out. 

When we haven’t understood our anger in relationship to our power, it can be even more volatile. 

This lesson you’ll be exploring your relationship to anger, how you can use it as a guide in your change-work, and its role as a gatekeeper to anxiety, grief and love.

Week 7: Emotions, Callings & Reading the Compass

There’s no map for getting from where we are to where we want to be because we haven’t been there before as a collective.

Still, we need a compass.

That’s what our emotions, body-sensations & callings are for.

To guide us into our most meaningful path.

As cultural wayfinders, we’re making the map as we walk.

Week 8: Vision & Seed

This week is a chance to go within and reimagine the world and your role in changemaking.

You’ll be entering an imaginary time machine to the future, where you visit a world that has experienced the the biggest transformation of all time.

Holding this vision, you’ll identify ways to start seeding this world into reality, matching your values to your thoughts, words and actions.

Week 9: Leading through the Unknown

No longer do we mimic the top down/hierarchical, hustle culture leadership of old.

Instead, we allow space for a new collaborative form of leadership to emerge. One based on listening, reflection and space for emergence.

We’ll be exploring leadership as a co-creative field, and the conditions we need to create for true regenerative leadership.
