Description: Strengths are the gifts and medicine that we can offer and draw on in building a world where everyone can thrive. Grounding in our strengths can allow us to become in touch with, imagine, and commit to leading from a strengths-based, healing justice politic. This practice builds on Clifton Strengths 34 and is offered in 2 parts.
Note: Part 2 of this session does require having paid access to Clifton Strengths 34 assessment. If this is not accessible to your group, we offer an alternative tool.
