July 9 | Free Workshop on Balancing Care and Strategic Action in the Polycrisis
Mahrukh Hasan (Maya)
This week on Wednesday, July 9, I'm hosting a free workshop and community gathering with Gemma Houldey from the Vulnerable Humanitarian Circle of Practice on how to show up in times of global and local crisis.
The answers may not be what you expect 😉
In case you're interested, I would love to see you there!
Warmly,
Maya

Right now, we're navigating multiple crises - humanitarian disasters, wars and genocide, climate emergencies, AI disinformation, rising authoritarianism, deepening inequalities, and beyond.
The demands are overwhelming. Some days you might wonder how to keep showing up without burning out completely.
Does this resonate?
Here's what I've learned after years navigating these same challenges:
- Understanding your spheres of control vs. influence changes everything
- Intentional rest isn't selfish - it's necessary for sustained impact
- There are real leverage points where your energy contributes to meaningful change
