For 20 years, they have been organizing, coaching, teaching, and writing on feminism, white anti-racism, spirituality, leadership, and fat liberation.

Dawn is excited to offer Creating Freedom Movements a workshop on the Block Build Be framework, which was created during her co-directorship at the Buddhist Peace Fellowship, a place where Buddhism and social justice join forces for liberation.
Creating Freedom Movements nurtures visionary grassroots leaders who build beloved community, cross-issue solidarity and infrastructures of justice & joy. We heal people and the planet by moving from cultures of separation & domination to cultures of connection & reciprocity.
