There are many ways to stand up for social change and justice. They all have one thing in common: they require us to be in relationship. In doing so, we often reproduce the patterns that we actually reject. But the good thing is: relating to one another eye to eye is a skill that we can practise.&nbsp;<\/p><p>This series of events is aimed at anyone who is looking for a space for connecting with each other.

We\u2019re still fixing the location, but the workshops will happen in person, somewhere in the center of Vienna. While it\u2019s no problem if you can\u2019t make it to one or two of the dates, we strongly encourage you to participate in all 4 workshops. They build on each other in subtle ways and you\u2019ll have a much more comprehensive experience if you attend all of them. Workshops will start on time at 6pm, so make sure you\u2019re there a few minutes early. The sessions will take about 2.5 hours with a break in between.&nbsp;<\/p><h2>Who is doing this?&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/h2><p><a href=\"https:\/\/jonasgroener.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jonas Gr\u00f6ner (he\/him)<\/a> is a coach, facilitator and organizer for community builders, activists and changemakers who are committed to a regenerative transformation of society.
