In these times of compounding crisis burnout is a frequent outcome to fighting against harm and trying to survive. Come learn about accessible herbal supports for the ways burnout can show up in our bodies, from  fatigue, jumpiness, and irritability to lack of concentration, hopelessness, digestive disruptions, difficulty sleeping, and headaches. We’ll talk about individual herbs but also what wisdom we can glean from collective projects for care.

When we are able to tend to fear and grief, we can reconnect with our humanity and deepen our capacity for connection with each other and with the webs of resistance we are part of. Herbs and herbal frameworks offer powerful support for metabolizing fear and grief, strengthening our resilience and our capacity to stay engaged.

Since November 2024, Movement Care Collective (MCC) has been supporting care and healing connections for people who organize in liberatory movements (e.g. Palestinian liberation, resisting Bill 5, other anti-colonial struggles). We make these connections with a network of trusted practitioners who offer psychotherapy, debriefing, massage therapy, acupuncture, osteopathy, herbal medicine, peer support, spiritual care and more! Care offerings happen through a mix of single-session, short-term or long-term support, and via pro bono, low cost, or full fee services.
