Resistance

Resistance happens in our personal lives and also on the collective level. We rally around one another and ask what resistance means and how we can practice it. We resist with the books we read and the people we listen to; we resist by decolonizing and fighting and dreaming of a better world.

Living Resistance
In an era in which “resistance” has become tokenized, the Aki Institute invites you to reclaim it as a basic human calling. Resistance is for every human who longs to see their neighbors’ holistic flourishing.
We each have a role to play in the world right where we are, and our everyday acts of resistance hold us all together.
​
We can learn to practice embodied ways of belonging and connection to ourselves and one another through everyday practices, such as getting more in touch with our bodies, resting, and remembering our ancestors.
The Aki Institute invites you to engage the four “realms of resistance”—the personal, the communal, the ancestral, and the integral. Each of these realms overlap and are needed for our liberation.
​
The Aki Institute wants to help people be empowered to seek wholeness in whatever spheres of influence they inhabit.
