Anti-Burnout Circle (ABC) is a weekly 90-minute coaching and reflection space for folks who are ready to unlearn performative productivity and prevent burnout. This is your invitation to get grounded, reconnect with seasonal rhythms, and rebuild your resilience alongside a like-minded community.

  • Each month centers on a new theme, from nervous system literacy to collective care in your local community.
  • We follow a four-part rhythm, recycled every 4 weeks: Reconnect, Release, Rebuild, Rejoice.

Drop in anytime, or join us through all twelve months as an act of resistance, renewal, and return to your whole self.

Is it laziness or just exhaustion from surviving a culture that mistakes urgency for purpose?

Capitalism, trauma, and performative productivity are so deeply ingrained in our way of being, that we are all too willing to work ourselves to the bone, sometimes literally! 

The Anti-Burnout Circle (ABC) is a weekly 90-minute gathering for folks who are ready to unlearn performative productivity and build a more humane rhythm or work, creativity, and care.

This is your invitation to exhale. No hustle, no homework, no gold stars required.

Just a consistent space to get grounded, reconnect with your body, and restore your energy in community.

Why This Group Exists 

Many of us were taught to treat exhaustion as evidence of worth. But the human body (and the planet itself) weren't built to produce endlessly.

This group is a space to practice life another way. We value rest, reciprocity, and rhythm over extraction and urgency.

Together, we are (re)learning what it feels like to recover our capacity for presence, pleasure, and sustainable action.

  • We believe that pleasure, ease, and flow are the ultimate forms of activism and resistance.

  • We believe that bravely making this world a better place begins from a place of camaraderie and sustainability. 

  • We are committed to staying laser-focused on the issues worthy of our full attention and creative passions. 

Who It's For

This weekly online meeting is for you if...

  • you've ever felt guilty for needing rest
  • you're ready to practice balance, connection, and courage without burning out
  • you're ready to unlearn your hustle habits and start building sustainable energy loops

The Calendar Rhythm

Our group follow a four-part cycle:

  • Week 1: Reconnect, notice what your body and life are asking for
  • Week 2: Release, let go of what's no longer sustainable
  • Week 3: Rebuild, experiment with new tools and supportive structures
  • Week 4: Rejoice, celebrate progress and collective resilience

This cycle repeats year-round, so you can drop in any week and never feel behind.
