Welcome on a 3-month journey led by Staci Haines, Nkem Ndefo, Karine Bell, and Kai Cheng Thom
We find ourselves in a moment where coming together and taking action is our only real option. This is too much to hold on our own. Together we can find clarity in the chaos and build the world we know we want to live in.
Continuing to witness systemic harm without a channel for action leads to moral injury. This isn’t a personal failing—it’s a sign of your integrity. But it is particularly insidious because it doesn’t just make you sad; it erodes your agency.
Feelings of hypocrisy, soul-ache, burnout—these can all be indications of moral wounds calling out for healing. Collective action is the most effective way to reawaken your nervous system and regain a sense of agency and healthy power in your life.
By finding a strategic role to play, you aren’t just helping the world; you are modeling for the next generation what it looks like to live in alignment with your values even when things are difficult.
Right now, we are in a critical window ahead of the 2026 U.S. Midterm elections. You could wait until the final weeks of the election to vote and donate in a panic, or you could join The Outer Work Project, and move from reactive to proactive. By the time the midterms are here, you will be well on your way towards embodying the change we need!
What you’ll receive:
8 weeks of guidance from experts who know BOTH trauma healing and social change organizing
12 weeks together with your 10 person learning pod to support you
Bonus videos from Dick Schwartz, Bessel Van Der Kolk, and Gabor Mate
