Join us on a transformative four-week journey as we explore the intersection of ceremony and activism, teaching you how to weave the sacred into the web of change. Drawing from our extensive expertise at Sacred Earth Activism, co-founders Jonathan Weekes and Christa Mackinnon share practical insights, processes and tools for integrating ceremony and ritual within, alongside, and in support of direct action, protest and campaigns.
Whether you're an experienced ceremonialist who's new to activism, or a seasoned activist curious about the art of ritual and ceremony, this course offers a unique opportunity to deepen your understanding and harness their combined potential for powerful transformation.
