SO YOU'RE READY TO CHOOSE LOVE Fundraiser!

Hello dear ones,

Will you help me release a free digital workbook on conflict transformation for social justice and spiritual growth? AND raise money for sex workers?

My name is Kai Cheng Thom, and I'm a somatic coach, consultant, mediator, and student of Transformative Justice. I'm also the author of a few books, including the Stonewall Book Award-winning essay collection, I HOPE WE CHOOSE LOVE: A Trans Girl's Notes From the End of the World. Over the past year, I've been working on the development of a model that I call Loving Justice, a somatic and spiritual lens on conflict resolution. If you follow me online, you may have seen a series of infographics and short blog posts that I've made available for free on Instagram and on my blog: https://ariseembodiment.org/blog/

Now, I'm excited to announce that I'm creating a 40-page interactive digital workbook called SO YOU'RE READY TO CHOOSE LOVE - a community resource that I hope to release for FREE online in downloadable PDF format. This workbook is practically focused toolkit of worksheets, diagrams, meditation prompts, and body-based exercises that supports the user to deepen their self-knowledge and conflict transformation skills while keeping social justice and systemic oppression in mind. I've spent the past year developing and testing these resources in my own personal and professional life.

I'm committed to open-source information and knowledge sharing. I believe that social, emotional, and relationship skills education are a human right. I also believe in getting paid for work! This is why I'm crowdfunding the release of this eBook. If you would have bought it anyway, I invite you to donate - and if you can spare a bit extra, maybe add a few $ in the name of folks who don't have access to cash money! In addition to supporting my creative work, half of all funds raised will be donated to Maggie's Toronto Sex Worker Action Project!

The book will be released for free at latest on Sept 15, 2021 if we meet the fundraising goal!
