Projects
Lumen Circles' projects are long-running lines of thought that give its work its direction. Its courses, articles, research and its work with partner organisations grow out of them. The projects are chosen through long conversations between the people of Lumen and activists in many fields, and through their shared reading of the situation as it is.
Rethinking Activism
Rethinking Activism is Lumen Circles’ first project. It asks what civic activists need in order to keep going and to do their work well: hope, meaning and resilience; security that treats the body, the device and the mind as one; dialogue across divides; and the craft of organising that is learned by doing, alongside others.
The project runs as circles of learning: short courses, each followed by mentoring, peer circles and a pathway for those who want to facilitate in turn. The first course is Holistic Security.
