Our Vision and Pathway: Building Communities Rooted in Liberation and Wellness
At Make Shi(f)t Happen, we believe in a future where individuals and organizations intentionally create spaces that prioritize healing, dismantle oppressive systems, and foster collective liberation. Our approach is rooted in whole self-healing, decolonization, and anti-harassment practices, offering a clear pathway to transformative change.
Vision:
We envision a world where liberation is not just a theory but a lived practice. A world where communities are built on the principles of care, equity, and justice, and where healing is seen as both an individual and collective responsibility. Our work is grounded in the belief that healing from systemic harm is essential to creating spaces where everyone can thrive. Whether through personal self-healing or organizational transformation, we are committed to guiding people toward building environments where wellness, inclusion, and safety are non-negotiable.
Our Pathway to Liberation:
Decolonization as a Radical Practice At Make Shi(f)t Happen, decolonization isn’t just a framework; it’s a necessary pathway toward reclaiming our humanity. Decolonization means recognizing the ways that colonization continues to shape our systems, our behaviors, and even our thinking—and then actively working to dismantle these harmful patterns. We guide individuals and organizations through the process of unlearning oppressive practices and rebuilding from a place of care, justice, and equity.
Whole Self-Healing for Sustainable Change
Healing is central to liberation. We believe that true transformation happens when we address not only the external systems of harm but the internal wounds they create. Our approach centers on whole self-healing—helping individuals reclaim their bodies, minds, and spirits from the impacts of oppression. This isn’t just about personal wellness; it’s about fostering sustainable advocacy and activism rooted in joy, care, and collective well-being.
Building Inclusive Communities of Care
Liberation requires community. At Make Shi(f)t Happen, we’re committed to building intentional, inclusive communities where everyone has a place and a voice. Our mutual aid network, healing circles, and community-based programs provide spaces where people can connect, support one another, and engage in collective healing. Together, we’re creating a world where care is at the center of how we live, work, and build relationships.
Our Commitment to Individuals and Organizations:
For Individuals: We are committed to supporting your personal journey toward healing and liberation. Through our courses, resources, and community offerings, we provide the tools you need to understand the impact of systemic harm and take actionable steps toward reclaiming your well-being and power. For Organizations: We partner with organizations that are ready to move beyond performative actions and build sustainable, inclusive spaces. Through our workshops, consultations, and practical tools, we help your organization identify harmful systems, implement anti-harassment practices, and create environments rooted in care, equity, and wellness.
Why This Work Matters:
Our work at Make Shi(f)t Happen is about more than education—it’s about creating real, sustainable change. We believe that liberation begins with healing and that every step toward dismantling harm contributes to the collective liberation of all people. This work matters because without it, we continue to perpetuate systems of harm that disconnect us from each other and from our true potential.
