11:30pm-12:00am Self Care for Activists
Naomi Ortiz’s book, “Sustaining Spirit: Self-Care for Social Justice” doesn’t suggest spa days or tell you how to organize your To 
Do List. Instead, she tackles questions like, how can I change the world when I’m too tired to change my socks? Can I remain passionate about a cause without being consumed by it? Why does self-care evoke such discomfort?
