Virtual Learning & Healing
LJIST’s virtual learning and healing opportunities follow four learning series: Foundations, Racial Healing, Leadership, and Application and are available in several formats, lengths, and price levels. Browse the offerings below for more details and information on how to participate or book.
Healing Together Gatherings
LJIST’s gift or dana Healing Together Gatherings (HTGs) embody our belief that sanctioned healing spaces are part of a just society. On the fourth Wednesday of most months, we apply our core healing practice of Constructivist Listening to a current topic. These 90-minute virtual sessions are open to anyone—new and returners alike. Pre-registration is required and will not be capped, but we are only able to admit the first 90 participants to the session. NOTE: HTGs are not available for purchase. Individuals and organizations are encouraged to share, promote, and return as often as they’d like.
Webinars
On-Demand Webinars allow individuals and groups immediate access to a LJIST teaching. Each On-Demand Webinar draws one hour of content from the Virtual Workshop of the same name. On-Demand Webinars are ideal for:
- Previewing content of a workshop you might want to attend or bring to your organization
- Bringing a LJIST teaching to a conference, organizational retreat, or other large gathering
- Sharing learning with colleagues, friends, or family who weren’t able to attend a Virtual Workshop you attended
- Deepening your individual learning
Getting Listened To
Getting Listened To (GLT) is our highly recommended prerequisite for Virtual Workshops. This three-hour session introduces participants to the LJIST Theory of Healing and Constructivist Listening practice: the foundation to all of our offerings. This content is so essential that all public workshop registrants as well as contracted clients can attend once for free. For a fee, individuals can sign up for public offerings as a stand-alone learning experience. Organizations can also host private sessions.
Virtual Workshops
LJIST’s Virtual Workshops provide deeper learning in a specific topic, with 9 hours of live content facilitated over 3 days and an additional 3+ hours of asynchronistic, individual learning. LJIST’s innovative virtual learning experiences are designed for collaboration, community, and play. They translate our core values into a powerful tool for social justice learning.
