78 Liking Your Life in an Unlikeable World: Personal Energy for Political Work

Politics, Race, Class, and Religion•623• Saturday, 1:00-2:15 p.m.

Feminism spawned the idea that the "personal is political." How do you maintain discontent with the state of the world without losing personal sense of proportion or energy for doing the work that needs to be done? In an imperfect world how does one find the personal peace and equilibrium to act for change over the long term, particularly when experiencing personal challenges or oppression? This is a facilitated workshop for participants to consider their experience and discover/recover options to keep energy and action moving in their lives.
