Welcome to your Ground Shift Group

Welcome! These short and flexible groups combine contemplative practices (Ground) and action taking or action planning (Shift). Ground Shift Groups are based on the idea that social change and contemplation are linked. You can use these groups in a secular or religious setting. The contemplation options suggested here have a mix of spiritual, somatic, and scientific roots, and you can use them in your setting by choosing the options that are a good fit for your group. Likewise, the directions you take your social change actions are up to your group: this is a resource to support your wisdom for change making, not to dictate it for you. Ground Shift Groups unfold over 3 to 5 sessions of 1.5 to 2 hours each, in person or online.
