Welcome to The Joyful Activists
​​​​
A global community supporting the wellbeing of activists, humanitarians, and changemakers.
​​​
We believe that resilience, hope, and joy are essential for sustained activism.
​
Join us to nurture your wellbeing, connect with others, and centre joy, play and community in your fight for a better world.
​
why we exist
We’re building a community that holds space for two important truths:
​
You care deeply about your work, and you need somewhere to recharge and look after your own wellbeing too.
​
We’re here to make that possible with you. Our uplifting, trauma-informed workshops are all about putting wellbeing at the heart of what we do, helping you find more joy along the way.
​
Whether it’s virtual or in-person somatic workshops, community circles, or wellbeing resources , we co-create spaces where you can breathe, connect, and feel supported.
We also design bespoke workshops for charities and NGOs to have honest conversations about mental health and wellbeing at work, because looking after ourselves is just as important as the work we do.
​
We know the world’s challenges can feel heavy, and the urgency to act can make it hard to pause. Let’s make a difference together, while staying grounded, supported, and connected to our own wellbeing.
You’re not in this alone.
