WHO WE ARE
"Cultivating a culture of consent & liberty for all"
Leander (they/he), Stas (they/them), and shaïna (they/them) founded Spring Up in 2013-2014 to build a community of practice embodying consent and liberation within our relationships, creative practices, and daily lives. For 10 years, Spring Up has used fiction, art, role play, and community education to popularize the skills and frameworks necessary to be free together. We have grown into a collective of 9 creatives, care workers, liberatory educators, transformative justice practitioners, and an alumni community of over 1500 people.
Spring Up hosts liberatory learning spaces through online classes at bluelight academy of the liberatory arts, print materials and curriculum, retreats, and coaching. We are a worker coop with 3 other member owners: Brianna, Mara, and rj with 3 others currently on the journey to co-ownership: Gayatri, Thanh, and Kai. Our core values are Consent, Accountability, and Transformation.

Zines & Workbooks
Transformative Justice Workbook
This workbook is a collection of frameworks and resources Spring Up has developed over the past decade to understand and intervene in systemic, institutional, inter group, interpersonal, and internal harm and violence. We have especially focused on gender based violence (sexual harm, intimate partner violence, relationship abuse, homophobia and transphobia) and how GBV intersects with and is compounded by other systems of violence.
Cultivate Consent Workbook
This zine is complete with key learnings/tools we determined over a period of time as most transformational for our participants in our trainings, workshops, and fellowships, including our consent toolkit with information to analyze power dynamics and coercion, practice open and ongoing communication, and utilize trauma-informed survivor response strategies in our relationships.
Liberatory Education Workbook
This workbook is created by Spring Up as a space for us to reflect on our pedagogy and tools for liberatory education as solidified in our online school platform, bluelight academy of the liberatory arts, after 10+ years of development through community, youth, and organizational education spaces. A great reference for designing liberatory learning spaces in community or in formal education settings, this workbook includes scenarios about how to put your principles into practice when it comes to disability justice, LGBTQIA inclusion, countering anti-Blackness, and more.
Resilience & Revitalization Zine
Resilience + Revitalization is an invitation to deepen our relationships with what it can mean to be accountable to our needs, desires, and healing. What and who do we draw upon for strength? How do we grow toward resiliency in a culture that forces many of us to choose constantly between immediate and long-term survival and safety? What can it mean to explore accountable, loving, and sustainable relationships to self and others? This zine explores what it can mean to engage our relationships with our bodies, minds, and spirits in ways that honor the vulnerability required to show up for ourselves and our communities.

OUR CORE VALUES: C.A.T.
Consent
Consent is a practice to collaborate equitably across difference. When practicing consent we strive to co-design a path forward in a way that honors everyone's boundaries and balances varying needs while having explicit conversations about expectations. Consent is an embodied knowledge of what we want to attract, what we want to move away from, what we are excited about, and what we can tolerate. It is a living and breathing feeling that is constantly evolving and being influenced by our surroundings. In order to practice consent we need to be able to adapt to shifting conditions and boundaries through continuous opportunities to exchange feedback without fear of coercion, shaming or retaliation. Having agency over one’s consent is a key part of liberation. Oppressive forces in history and the present have normalized lack of consent and therefore many of us are returning to the knowledge that we have consent over our bodies, our dream space and more. At its core, consent is about self-determination, mutual negotiation, and reciprocity.
Accountability
Accountability is a politic of community care and integrity. It is about honoring our commitments and taking responsibility for the impacts that our (in)actions and ways of being have on ourselves and those we are in relationship with. As a strategy, centered-accountability offers more seats at the table for how systems are designed, how relationships are experienced, and how repair from harm can be done. Practicing accountability means seeking and listening to feedback, taking steps to address values and boundaries misalignments, and committing to ongoing reflection and dialogue to make sure our strategies address root causes rather than depend on quick fixes.
Transformation
Spring Up is a meditation on transformation. Our commitment to transformation is grounded in the belief that everyone should have the opportunities and avenues to grow; to unlearn misaligned conditioning, alchemize trauma, re-imagine our relationships, and open doors to liberated realities that were previously locked. We strive to bridge theories and abstract ideas with our lived experiences through the creation of sacred containers for conscious evolution that honors what has been, faces what is, and collaboratively manifest what is to come. A self-aware process of transformation is an act of deep listening and receptivity to sharing power with others by adapting to feedback in order to expand and layer rather than discard or start over. It is embracing process over outcome, not aiming to arrive at a “perfect” conclusion but instead being curious about a lifetime of iteration that balances adaptability with consistency through the interwoven practices of consent and accountability.
How do we navigate power and difference equitably? What personal skills and collaborative tools can we each learn in order to practice consent with ourselves and one another? Are you curious to know more about sociocracy and practice consent based decision making in real time?
Join the Spring Up Collective and peer practitioners in learning the 4 core steps to practice consent based decision making and feedback across power lines.
This daylong virtual retreat is great for anyone who is interested in deepening their understanding of power and skills of consent based decision making. Within the retreat, participants will examine how both formal and informal power show up in our lives and unpack the 4 core steps to consent based decision making including internal consent, decision making tools, communication skills, and feedback practices.

Summer 2025 Six-Week Unlearning Through Teaching: Facilitating Liberatory Education Cohort
How can we use learning as an opportunity to practice freedom together?
bluelight academy's Unlearning Through Teaching Class is an opportunity for teachers, facilitators, and leaders to learn more liberatory pedagogy and hold more engaging, dynamic, inclusive, and equitable learning spaces. This multimedia course provides videos, readings with audio recordings, coaching, and grounding practices to support you in integrating everyday liberatory education into your practice.
This course is for you if:
-
You believe that education can be a catalyst for more options and success in life, but you can tell that education isn’t working for everyone.
-
You want to experience freedom as a learner in order to create that experience in the spaces you hold and facilitate.
-
You want to facilitate spaces with diverse learners where people can be themselves, ask questions, and take risks without fear. You want to make learning spaces that are accessible to different learning styles including neurodiverse and disabled learners; inclusive of queer, trans, and nonbinary learners and LGBTQIA+ families; and welcoming to Black, Indigenous, Latinx, Asian, and immigrant people and communities.
-
You don’t feel like teaching for the test or focusing on memorization truly helps everyone learn new information, but you are not sure how else to structure learning that will be more inclusive and effective. You want to hold engaging spaces that people remember and draw on for the rest of their lives.
-
You feel good about the content you teach, you are just unsure if how you are teaching it aligns with your core values.
-
You panic when something goes wrong in your learning space and are unsure of your role in intervening or correcting the behaviors. You want to have a respectful and grounded learning environment without depending on control, coercion, and punishment.
-
You want to move away from white supremacy culture and learn how to decolonize your thinking and your lesson plans.
-
You want to practice power with participants, rather than power over learners. You want to practice consent with young people and people with more or less power than you.
-
You want to be able to effectively navigate conflict with co-teachers / other facilitators, administrators, parents, community members, and learners.
-
You want to be sustainable as an educator and not feel constantly overworked or burnt out. You want to have better boundaries with your work, colleagues, and learners. You want to have a plan for how to care for yourself and create a nurturing environment for learners and community members.
The course begins on June 1st and completes by the end of July with continued access to the content.
Deadline to Register: May 16th, 2025
FOR GROUPS & ORGANIZATIONS
Private Webinars
If you are interested and would like to request our collective members to participate in a panel or serve as a speaker for an event, please reach out to us with the event logistics (including: the dates, the budget, and any topics or main ideas of conversation to address). Webinars and Question & Answer (Q&A) sessions are two great ways to get an introduction to the ideas of our curricula by engaging with our collective members. examine how to translate the concepts into their practices. Webinars are scheduled for sixty to ninety minutes each and provide an overview of the topic. Our current webinar offerings for groups:
-
Everyday Consent
-
Everyday Transformative Justice
-
Safety & Care
-
Organizational Accountability
We strongly encourage you to consider getting both a webinar and a Q+A with our team. Many of our clients have found this to be the most supportive way to dive into the content because it allows you to get to know us better through our philosophies and practices, you as a group get to develop shared language and a set of tools, as well as time to get customized private access to us in order to troubleshoot and talk through the specific challenges your community is facing.
Private Retreats
Book any of our current retreat offerings as a private event for your group. Choose from three different retreats on 1) Liberatory Facilitation, 2) Conflict Analysis, and 3) Harm Systems Design. Upon completing a one-day retreat, participants will leave with both theoretical frameworks and concrete resources to support their work within their community.
The Liberatory Facilitation retreat is structured around the questions, “What does it take to be free together? And, what is the role of the facilitator / educator in supporting that freedom?” The daylong retreat is great for anyone who facilitates learning experiences, whether they are teachers, trainers, community accountability facilitators, or leaders.
The Conflict Analysis retreat is a six-hour event for organizers, leaders, mediators, coaches, therapists, and more--anyone who is interested in deepening their understanding and analysis skills of conflict.
The one day Harm Systems Design retreat is great for organizational leaders, people from Human Resources or community accountability teams or entrepreneurs thinking about how to create systems in their endeavors.
Group Coaching & Mediation
Group coaching is an integral part of our consulting services. These can be ongoing team relationship building and co-learning spaces, or can be limited to 3 sessions with a specific goal outcome. These coaching sessions will utilize restorative justice circles and design thinking tools to collaboratively map out your stakeholders and accountability commitments in order to strengthen your shared commitments as well as discern between interpersonal and strategic conflicts.
We offer mediation around interpersonal conflict in a four step process. First, we will do a free intake to determine if the conflict is a good fit for us to handle. If so, we will determine where on our sliding scale your group fits and enter a mediation agreement. Then, we will conduct a preconferencing conversation with each participant in the conflict. If both participants consent, a mediated conversation (typically 3 hours) using restorative justice practices takes place between the Spring Up facilitator and the two participants. An agreement is typically reached in that space, and then the facilitator will have a follow up conversation with each participant after 3-6 months for closure. This can be a standalone intervention, or can lead into group coaching or training to address the issues that contributed to the conflict.
Getting Free Together
What does collective liberation look like in practice? Members of our collective have spent decades pursuing freedom through study and practice inside numerous movements, nonprofits, and academic institutions. This highly customized consulting cohort invites you to invest in the leadership of your team and build relationships with values aligned peers. Our team of transformative justice practitioners and liberatory facilitators has been supporting organizations like yours in building stronger infrastructure around conflict and harm, moving from shared values to tangible practices, and getting better at task and relational accountability for many years. We have also been practicing shared leadership together in our worker co-op.
Is your team ready to get free together by implementing liberatory collaboration practices?
This series is hosted over 6 months, bringing together leaders and decision makers from up to 6 values-aligned organizations to learn from Spring Up and each other about how to practice sharing power and tackling conflict generatively within your teams and programs. This experience will invite 2-6 of your team members to learn, practice, and design new systems and tools to operationalize your values, including guidance and support sharing back with the rest of your team or community.

Are you looking for more support in dealing with conflict, accountability, and boundaries in your life? Spring Up coaching is a peer-based, flexible, non-therapy offering to help you clarify your goals and build your self-care and communication skills.
Our collaborative approach to coaching is based in a non-hierarchical relationship that is solution focused — coaches recognize that clients are experts in their own lived experience. Coaching is strengths-based and culturally specific in that coaches help the client enhance their inherent strengths, skills, and resources accessible to them. Spring Up coaching has an expectation that the client is ready to engage in further learning and implementation of that learning outside of the session.
