Activism psychology, Climate Psychology2 Comments

Activism is a psychological process we engage in, one which is like a mirror bringing us back in touch with the essence of ourselves, while simultaneously connecting us with the essence of what life is. There are personal, collective, and transpersonal aspects to activism that don’t allow us to only “fix problems out there”, but rather that offer us healing within as we engage our creative agency in outer changemaking. Each of us is unique as an activist, yet each of us is connected in a Collective Activism, and all facets inform and transform each other. In this article, Jennifer Harvey Sallin explores the psychology of activism and the multiply transformative path of changemaking.
