Our capitalist culture has us internalizing working to prove our worth, even in moments where we can choose to rest instead. There is a crunch as inequality grows, and as we resist inequality let's remember rest is resistance too!

Often we see accountability or justice portrayed in the media in revengeful ways because society centers punishment of the individual rather than restoration of the relationship. We believe that resisting oppressive systems lies in abolition.

[Groundswell Alternative Business School @groundswellsch]

Social change begins with personal change, and personal change requires we know what we need in order to feel safe diving into change. Specially when that change requires us to ask ourselves difficult questions.

Let's do it together! As kids we were often encouraged to clean up, play, sit, or even just line up - together. But as we became adults, individualism was encouraged instead. Yet many of the issues we need to address are collective ones.

[Groundswell Alternative Business School @groundswellsch]

Capitalism has us thinking that our outputs are only for consumption. They are things to be built to be bought and sold. As we have began to place more value on this, we have devalued our relationship with ourselves, others and the environment.

[Groundswell Alternative Business School @groundswellsch]

Being in relationship with many folks requires being open to different perspectives, as well as being open to being held accountable. Learning how to be open has required us to also practice boundaries, agency and sharing our capacity in our relationships.

Decentering means removing from the center, but then what? Will we rebuild this model that has a center, or will we create a new model?

How do you understand decentering? ⬇️

If you are invested in social change and doing something about it with others, you are a fan of sci-fi!
