Social justice work demands navigating complexity, holding contradictions and remaining present with suffering while maintaining clarity and compassion. This three-session module integrates polyvagal theory, somatic practice and reflective inquiry to explore how tending to internal states directly influences capacity for external change. Through accessible psychoeducation, embodied practices and witnessing in small groups, participants will develop practical tools for regulation under pressure, examine the narratives shaping their work and discover how a resourced nervous system opens new responses to systemic contradictions.
