Reflecting on our Lumos Community Chat with where she introduced us to the meaning of "sumud," a Palestinian concept often translated as steadfastness, but one that transcends the individualistic notions of resilience pushed by Western, neoliberal frameworks.

The Resilience Toolkit Certification Program was built for these times. This work was born out of a precognition of what will be required for true liberation to occur. This work is not an individualized effort, rather a pathway to arrive to a shared center of resilience that moves us towards clear, focused and sustainable collective action.

We need stabilization now. People need practices that bring us back to our bodies and help us move together toward the world we long for.

The Resilience Toolkit was built for this moment. And the world needs more people to carry this work forward into our communities, organizations, and movements.

Discover the ecologically sensitive, accessible, somatic approach to first-stage trauma healing and collective liberation.

“You’re not too sensitive... it’s mad out here.”

That’s the ethos of misery, a QTIBPOC-led collective reclaiming healing from systems that have harmed and excluded.

They’ve reached thousands through joy-filled, peer-led offerings—from low-cost mushroom walks to sober raves with mental health support.(!!!) But the people holding this work are also carrying grief, disability, and recovery in real time. ❤️‍🩹

misery joined our program to build capacity, care, and culture that can hold all of that.

They’re shaping liberatory structures from the inside out.

Our movements can’t thrive if we keep repeating the same cycles of fear, control, and punishment. True liberation asks us to look at the parts of ourselves we’ve been taught to hide (the shadow) and come back into right relationship with them.

This is the work of Shadow Work for Social Justice with Kai Cheng Thom. Together, we’ll face the patterns that fracture our movements and keep us from building the communities we long for: toxic conflict, call-outs without repair, the push to perform instead of connect.

This September, we invite you into deep practice. Meet yourself more fully and bring light and compassion to the parts you’ve rejected.

Remember: we get free together!

❤️‍🔥 This collab is everything ❤️‍🔥 We’re thrilled to announce: + have come together to offer Shadow Work for Social Justice—a live, 5-week course that meets the moment we’re in.

How many of us are running on empty, stuck in perfectionism, avoiding conflict, or privately falling apart while trying to hold it all together?

In this 5-week offering, Kai Cheng will guide us through the terrain of shadow work, not as a personal self-help project, but as a collective, liberatory practice. One that allows us to face what’s been buried, metabolize what’s been toxic, and reimagine what becomes possible when we stop pushing pieces of ourselves into the dark.

đź“ŤWhere: Inside the Lumos Transforms Community

⌛When: Tuesdays between September 23 - October 28. All Sessions are from 2:00–4:00pm ET / 11:00am–1:00pm PT / 6:00–8:00pm UTC

This offering is an invitation to face what we’ve been taught to push down: shame, control, rage, fear, grief. So that we can engage in activism from a place of wholeness and stay in the work with integrity, resilience, and humanity.

✨ Join us for a FREE Info Session with Kai Cheng on Monday, Sept 2 @ 11am PT / 2pm ET to learn what shadow work really is and how it can transform how we show up for justice.

We need all parts of ourselves right now.
We need all of you.
