Forward Stance

The visionary and innovative work of building a strong and vibrant intersectional social justice movement requires us to physically move people, move institutions, and change the way the world works. Too often in our work, we are “in our heads,” focusing on conceptual ideas and frameworks while ignoring the physics of social change work. Courageous Practice provides us with a powerful way to learn and gain new insight through physical movement and by reconnecting our bodies with our minds. The practice grew out of Forward Stance, highlighted in the video to the left. Forward Together uses Courageous Practice in all aspects of our work, and also trains allied organizations in the practice to support their movement-building efforts.
