Faith-filled, justice-centered work asks much of our minds, bodies, emotions, relationships, and spirits.

52 Weeks of Grounding, Centering & Emotion Regulation Practices offers one short, accessible practice for every week of the year. Created especially for organizers, pastors, theologians, faith-rooted leaders, caregivers, advocates, and community builders, this resource offers gentle ways to remain connected to yourself while remaining present to the work.

Inside, you will find practices for:

• Grounding through your senses and surroundings

• Recognizing and making space for emotions

• Releasing physical and emotional tension

• Honoring your capacity and identifying what you need

• Returning to your values before responding

• Receiving support from people, faith, community, and the living world

• Resting without measuring your worth by productivity

• Returning to center after difficult moments

These practices will not remove the conditions creating stress, grief, anger, or exhaustion. They offer small ways to remain connected to your body, values, faith, and community while moving through them.

Use the resource on your own or incorporate its practices into staff meetings, organizing spaces, congregational gatherings, classrooms, retreats, and community care.

The practice is not staying centered all the time. The practice is learning how to return.
