About THE ART OF ORGANIZING:
From August 2 to August 8, 2025 the Institute for Social Ecology is hosting its annual summer intensive course at artfarm in Lexington, KY. Participants will spend a week together studying and learning the core ideas of social ecology and practices for building transformative community movements for climate justice, resilience, and radical democracy. While gathering in person is an important aspect of the summer intensive experience, we know that that is simply not possible for everyone who would like to participate, and so we have assembled the necessary tech to allow participants to join most of the program virtually. Please register on this page if you would like to attend these sessions but can't join us in the flesh.
