Inner Resources

The Inner Activist is a unique leadership & personal development experience.  

Instead of introducing just one approach, we have designed our unique & integrated course curriculum to allow each participant to be exposed to five key modalities or frameworks for learning anchored in a social justice and equity framework. Each is powerful in its own right and takes participants through a deeper understanding of the personal and interrelated processes that underpin how we as leaders can bring about effective change.

Our five course modules can be taken as a series, or as stand-alone independent courses taken at any time. Nowhere else will you find a more unique, diverse and integrated opportunity to transform yourself and your approach to leadership.

Our  Foundation

The Inner Activist was not created out of thin air. It was developed after years of research, speaking with the top activists, change makers and social entrepreneur individuals and organizations in North America. Through this process we discovered one key need that was not fully being met: A place where change makers could come, be inspired, feel supported, rejuvenate and develop essential personal development & leadership skills.
