Capacity Building with the Acosta Institute
Welcome to Capacity Building with the Acosta Institute, where we explore, define, and dream out loud about capacity building as an act of world building. In each episode, we explore insights, strategies, and transformative practices that empower individuals and organizations to create resilient, healing-centered environments. Join us to discover how capacity building can equip your team and community to thrive in the face of today’s challenges—and to co-create the impactful future you envision.

S2 EP3: Freedom Dreaming: Fellows on Healing, Community, and the Worlds We’re Building
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this third episode of Season Two of Capacity Building, Dr. Angel Acosta is joined by fellows, Ei Ei Samai, Shaina Glass, Darnese Y. Daniels, and Christian von Tippelskirch, from the second cohort of the Acosta Institute Fellowship for a collective reflection on how community, coaching, and shared inquiry shape both personal and professional transformation. Through metaphors of gardens, portals, poetry, and safe harbors, fellows speak candidly about healing, freedom, belonging, and the worlds they are trying to bring into being. Together, they explore what capacity building looks like when it is rooted not in hustle or extraction, but in mindfulness, heartfulness, and our shared humanity.
