Michelle and Katherine welcome congressional candidate Dr. Melissa Bird for a discussion on intuitive leadership, spirituality and politics, and the graceful revolution!
As healers, mystics, practitioners and spiritual teachers, we know that we’re here to participate in the transformation and healing of the collective. But how does that translate out of our meditation and ritual practice into effective, right-aligned action?
What is the “graceful revolution” and how can we all participate in it? What are the foundations of intuitive leadership, and how does intuitive leadership build community? How are spiritual practice and political activism deeply intertwined?
Join us for a powerful discussion, including a few solid mic-drop moments! If you know you’re here to be a changemaker, you won’t want to miss it.
About Dr. Melissa Bird:
Dr. Melissa Bird is a fighter, a mother, a small business owner, and a proud descendant of the Shivwits Band of Paiutes and she’s running for Congress in Oregon’s 4th District to dig up what’s broken and build something bold in its place.
Melissa’s lived experience as a social worker, lay preacher, wife of a veteran, and survivor of a system that was never built for her, or for most of us, fuels her campaign. She’s been told to wait her turn, to settle for scraps, to lower her voice. She’s done with that. She’s seen what happens when the government fails to meet people’s basic needs, and she’s ready to do something about it.
As a nationally recognized speaker, policy strategist, and unapologetic advocate for working people, Melissa brings both fire and fluency to the fight. She’s battled for reproductive freedom, LGBTQ+ rights, health care access, and the rights of Indigenous communities. Now she’s taking that fight to Congress.
She lives in Corvallis with her husband, three kids, two dogs, and one three-legged cat. When she’s not working, you’ll find her sipping Earl Grey with heavy cream and reading novels, because joy is also resistance.
