Liminal Spaces: Finding Your Footing in Today’s World

In this pivotal moment, many of us working at the intersection of climate change and environmental justice are facing an overwhelming sense of uncertainty. The security of our jobs, the sustainability of our funding, and the future of our work all seem increasingly precarious. Some have already felt the sharp sting of layoffs and program cuts, and the ripple effects of these losses reverberate throughout our communities. These challenges are particularly hard on lower-income families, immigrant communities, and marginalized groups, where policies and economic pressures hit hardest.

If you’ve been feeling like you’ve lost your footing, you are not alone. The weight of these ongoing struggles is felt deeply by so many, and it’s easy to feel isolated or uncertain about the path forward. That’s why it is more important than ever to connect with others who understand the complexity of these emotions and experiences.

To provide a space for healing, reflection, and community, The Resilient Activist is partnering with MARC and the Greater Kansas City Area Environmental Justice Community to host a transformative, day-long retreat.

This retreat is designed to be a sanctuary—a place where you can step away from the chaos and pressures of daily life and come together with like-minded individuals who share your commitment to environmental justice.

During this retreat, you’ll have the opportunity to engage in restorative practices, mindfulness exercises, and open discussions that will help you navigate the emotional and professional uncertainties that many of us are facing. Together, we’ll explore how to ground ourselves in times of upheaval and rediscover our sense of purpose and direction in the work we do.

We invite you to join us and find the strength, solidarity, and clarity we all need to keep moving forward. Together, we can weather this storm and continue the fight for a more just and sustainable world.
