Postactivism, Transraciality and Decoloniality
a Work That Reconnects Network Webinar
with Bayo Akomolafe

Friday, September 16, 2022
8-10am PDT (UTC -7)
**Check what time this will be for you HERE.**

Dr. Bayo Akomolafe’s inquiry into postactivism challenges our conventional notions of activism and agency by asking the question: “What do we do when our response to the crisis becomes part of the crisis?”

In a world replete with ever-increasing and compounding social and environmental crises, Bayo invites us to not just think outside of the box, but to “touch the box” by troubling our centrality within the complex, interconnected circumstances of a living world ‘suddenly’ alive, agential, and animated.

Join us for a rich and generative conversation between our WTR framework and Dr. Bayo Akomolafe’s explorations of postactivism, transraciality and decoloniality that promises to evoke new callings and new questions in our hearts and minds.

This event will include a combination of interview time, interactive group practice and participant questions/conversation with Bayo.

A choice making species of extraordinary potential, a false religion devoted to the worship of money has put us on a path to self-extinction. Join our next webinar with David Korten, global visionary activist and bestselling author, and Della Duncan, Renegade Economist and host of the Upstream Podcast for the most important conversation of our time. An exploration of the epic opportunity created by our existential crisis. This conversation will be both expansive and deep, touching on themes including science, spirituality, systems thinking, and economics. It will also be participatory, for the way forward must be collaborative.

Rituals and ceremonies are some of the most powerful, transformative experiences in the Work That Reconnects spiral, especially when they are done well. Leading powerful ritual requires a set of skills and understanding that you can’t find in the WTR texts. In this webinar, you will learn how to conduct truly inspiring rituals with experienced WTR facilitator and ceremonial leader Kathleen Rude. She will give you insights and techniques about how to set intention and establish boundaries, how to lead with confidence in the power of ritual, how to open and close rituals and how to bring your unique gifts and wisdom into the process.

There are three aspects of the Great Turning, which can also be seen as three dimensions of activism. Some are more visible than others. All of them are essential. Perhaps the most visible one is ‘front line’ activism in the form of movements and campaigns working to stop the harm. It brings attention of the public, governments and large companies to the extreme dangers of the Climate Emergency, and the need for systemic change in order to care for the wellbeing of all life. Another dimension of the Great Turning is the creation of structural alternatives, individual and collective. The third involves a shift of consciousness, values and worldviews.
