We are delighted to be hosting this workshop with Vikki Reynolds. Her face to face workshops in London, Manchester and Edinburgh in 2019 were hugely well received and this online workshop is sure to be oversubscribed.

Vikki writes: In the face of the Covid-19 pandemic frontline workers are responding to suffering, hardship and oppression in situations we couldn’t have imagined a year ago. The pandemic has disrupted much of our lives and ways of working bringing disconnection and fear. Resisting Burnout in this moment means we need to go deeper than the “self-care” we are normally prescribed and look at Community Collective Care and our Mental Wellness, considering cultural, spiritual, relational and community-based ways to collectively support ourselves and our communities. Workers will build Solidarity Teams and practices for collective care. The ambient/ever-present trauma we are swimming in can be crazy-making, and we resist with collective care as a sanity-making project.
