Strategic Collaboration for Social Justice

Training Practitioners

Sustainability and Solidarity (SuSo): Sustainability and Solidarity is a yearlong leadership development program co-designed by stone circles and OpenSource Leadership Inc. to help progressive North Carolina leaders build relationships of solidarity, foster understanding of sustainable practices, and generate a collective vision for social change. The program has convened 19 powerful leaders working in solidarity teams on environmental justice, immigrant rights, arts and social change, healthy families, food justice, and community development.

Ripples Training practitioners to transform the work for change * What does it take to create sustainable movements for lasting social change? * How can we engage with practices of liberation that enable us to cultivate wisdom, build authentic relationships, and be successful in our work? * How do we speak, act, and live across spiritual lines of difference, while also claiming the particularities of our experiences?

Resourcing the Field

Resources for Change Agents For ten years, stone circles has helped build the field of spiritual activism, cultivating a thriving national network and capturing stories in a range of forms: videos, case studies, publications and curriculum. Highlights of these collaborations include our national fellowship program, a sustainable activism project with the Rockefeller Foundation, and help establishing the Seasons Fund for Social Transformation. Our efforts continue through national collaboration and documentation.
