Transform your burnout into breakthroughs with compassionate listening practices and mindful coaching for changemakers. Chronic stress feels like a wound—let's restore your vitality and heal together.
Our courses are designed as a sanctuary to support changemakers in breaking free from advocacy burnout. These courses are embedded in mindfulness meditation practices, artistic modalities such as deep listening and singing melodic modes, positive neuroplasticity, and intersectional justice.
We provide both 1:1 and group coaching sessions as integral components of our RESURGENCE course. These sessions are designed to ignite your vision and propel you forward in a sustainable manner. Through a series of targeted questions, our coaching helps you reconnect with your power centre, uncover hidden dreams and aspirations, and identify and overcome any hidden blocks or inner glass ceilings that may be obstructing your ability to effect systemic change.
We are currently hosting a series of in-person workshops in collaboration with the Alberta Ecotrust, focusing on sustainable advocacy in Calgary's diverse communities. These workshops tackle issues such as energy affordability and burnout, while also cultivating creative strategies to combat stigma and facilitate dialogue around social challenges.

Advocacy burnout can diminish your vision by overwhelming you with exhaustion and emotional fatigue, making it challenging to see beyond immediate obstacles. As the toll of constant advocacy work accumulates, it can cloud your perspective, hindering your ability to envision long-term goals and strategies for meaningful change. With mindful coaching, you can transcend limiting beliefs and inner glass ceilings, realigning yourself with your core values. This process enables you to break through the fog of burnout, restoring clarity to your vision and empowering you to pursue your advocacy goals with renewed purpose and resilience.
Incorporating sustainable practices such as deep listening, self-compassion rooted in positive neuroplasticity, and intersectional justice empowers you to embrace a systems-change approach to your advocacy journey. By adopting these tools and practices, you can sustain yourself without succumbing to burnout, fostering resilience and longevity in your efforts for meaningful change.

I was amazed at the series of workshops by Shumaila Hemani. In my 22 years of experience in the climate field, I never have never had the opportunity to combine my background in film/photography/art with climate change. The work Shumaila is doing is incredibly innovative, and I think it touched a deep yearning among the participants to seek equity and justice in this world in which we are immersed.

Setting intentions has been instrumental in boosting my self-esteem. Dr. Hemani’s insights and strategies, especially considering neurodiversity, have helped me better manage daily obstacles. Additionally, the documents and schedule she provided were very helpful in understanding the overall approach.

Talking to Dr. Shumaila about imposter syndrome helped me gain a new understanding of how to relate to my fears. I realized that challenging ourselves puts us in uncomfortable zones, and that process of self-doubting is significant for growth. Her insights were incredibly valuable. It was a pleasure to meet her; she was a very kind mentor and used a gentle approach to help me overcome my fears.
