About our Community of Practice
Activism, wellbeing and social justice work is rewarding, and it can also be challenging, lonely and impactful on our own wellbeing.
So join our supportive community of women who understand. We can offer each other space to listen, feel heard, give advice (if requested) and accountability.
We spend an hour together each month to slow down, reflect on how we're feeling and set intentions for our work, activism and wellbeing for the month ahead.

faq
why is it for women?
The Joyful Activists is a community for all genders. This specific community of practice call is for women (including trans women and non-binary people) because there is a gender imbalance in caregiving responsibilities, charity work and a gender pay gap that impacts women's mental health and wellbeing. We welcome all genders welcome at any of our other workshops.
where will the workshop take place?
Our Community Calls take place on Zoom, and they are free to attend.
Sign up via this form to join our mailing list. You'll receive a welcome email, and then the joining info ahead of each call.
Community Calls will not be recorded.
What will we talk about?
We start the call with a guided meditation, a sharing circle and then breakout spaces with optional conversation prompts.
We co-create the space together - some months we talk about practical things (like the best apps and systems for our work) to personal (like how we're caring for ourselves alongside your work), to things that give us purpose and hope (vision boarding, blue sky thinking, sharing our boldest ambitions).
What do I need to bring to the calls?
You don't need to prepare anything! We'll start with a short meditation to ground ourselves, introductions, then everyone will have chance to share their work, any positives, challenges and opportunities to collaborate.
why host these calls?
Our work can be rewarding, but sometimes lonely, scary and brave too. I know so many brilliant women building businesses, working in organisations and dedicating themselves to activism that connects, changes and heals the world, and I'd love to introduce you all to each other!
how often are calls?
Our Community Calls are monthly on the first Tuesday of the month from 10-11am (BST/GMT). We can collectively consider other times/days that could also work - please share your preferences with us!
