YThe Joyality Program is an 8-week experiential ecopsychology and activism course that supports you to feel empowered, resilient and connected, and to find grounded hope for the future. It guides you to discover and develop your abilities as a powerfully positive changemaker, and connects you with a community of inspiring people doing this work around the world. The Joyality Program is grounded in the principles and practices of ecopsychology, deep ecology, The Work That Reconnects, non-violent communication theories of social change and social action best practices.
THROUGH THE JOYALITY PROGRAM, YOU WILL LEARN TO:
connect with your deeper feelings about what is happening in our world and transform eco-anxiety into fuel for action
develop a deeper relationship with nature that can ground and sustain you no matter where you are or what you’re doing
connect authentically with other people, both “allies” and “opponents”
develop clarity about your unique gifts, skills and passions for creating positive change in your own life, in your community, and on the larger social, economic, and cultural scale
care compassionately for yourself and others in order to maintain and strengthen your commitment to action and your joy at being alive at this time in human and planetary history

36 experiential practices, including 16 audio tracks you can download to your phone or other mobile device and listen to anywhere

how you can participate:
1. Online access to The Joyality Program. Registration includes access to the Joyality website and all 36 experiential practices, 16 audio tracks and transcripts. There are 8 modules of around 2 hours each. You can do this course at your own pace, and it is open source and freely available! (We do ask that you make a donation to our work in exchange.)
2. Join a Joyality Circle. The Joyality Program is a collective journey, as well as an individual one. If you gather a group, we are available to hold Joyality Circles … small groups of people who will meet weekly for live sessions to engage with the program content from that week. These live sessions include discussion, experiential processes and “sharing circles” or “wisdom circles”, facilitated by an accredited Joyality Facilitator. These meetings can be held either online or in person, depending on the location of participants and facilitators, and are 2 hours.
Joyality is a non-profit project and our pricing aims to maximise accessibility whilst covering costs and paying our international team of skilled facilitators for their time, energy and expertise. We also gratefully accept donations to further this important work and support those who wish to participate in this program and need financial support to do so.
