We are Irresistible -- a community of practice in collective healing and social change.

Together, we celebrate the many traditions of movement leaders, cultural workers, and spiritual teachers who remind us to embody the liberation we are pursuing and who show us that our movements for justice can and must be expansive, vibrant, and fully alive.

Should we be cancelling our events and travel due to COVID-19?

In this mini bonus feature, we expand upon our previous episode "Coronavirus: Wisdom from a Social Justice Lens" to bring you advice about how to adapt your travel and gatherings. We share from the perspective of organizers and folks participating in social justice movements, and the decisions we need to make about our own plans and plans for our groups, teams, and campaigns.

Host Kate Werning is joined by Maryse Mitchell-Brody to hear their recommendations about how we move responsibly and with care during this time.
