What is the 100 Days of Hope Program?

The 100 Days of Hope course is designed to help you cultivate hope as a skill and a practice, rather than a passive feeling. Inspired by Mariame Kaba's teaching that "hope is a discipline," this course offers a structured 100-day journey, a little over three months, to develop your "hope muscle." This program is a steady drip of digestible content and prompts to support your hope inquiry.

The lessons are designed as hope fractals--the relationship between the small and the large. We change ourselves to change the world.

It's not homework, it's hopework.

What to Expect

100-Day Journey: Engage in a 100-day program to actively cultivate hope, moving from overwhelm to resilience.
Three Phases: The course is structured into three phases:

Hope Seeker: Focuses on noticing hope and collecting data. Participants will develop their ability to notice hope and pay attention to the details.
- One participant used the hope seeker framework to develop a new morning routine, beginning their work day with attention to hope even amidst crisis.
Hope Builder: Focuses on cultivating a hope skill or muscle. This phase involves developing practical skills and frameworks to build one’s "hope muscle.”
- With the multiple paths to developing a hope skill, one parent found different tools useful with different family members. A hope approach for all.
Hope Dealer: Focuses on implementing hope habits and creating a personal hope action plan. Participants will learn to be an architect of their own hope.
- A team leader utilized their hope habits to integrate imagination and possibility into work meetings, bringing their hope practice to work.

Twice-Weekly Emails: Receive emails on Sundays and Wednesdays with a variety of content, including short weekly teachings, tips, and optional practices.
Printable Handouts: Take your hope practice into the wild with printable handouts designed to deepen your hope inquiry through the Hope Seeker, Hope Builder, and Hope Dealer lessons.
Data-Driven and Practical: Course content includes data-driven approaches, frameworks for practical application, and reflection questions to guide your own hope exploration.
Community Focus: Join a community of "HopeFulls" and connect with others to build resilience and address feelings of isolation. Consider registering with a practice partner or hope buddy. The possibility of another’s perspective and having an accountability partner can boost your learning experience.

Course Content Highlights

Respair: A word from the 1500’s meaning “to recover from despair” (verb) and “fresh hope” (noun). We will respair together. Together we are fresh hope.
Hope as a Discipline: Learn to actively cultivate hope rather than passively waiting for it.
Hope Habits: Develop a personal hope action plan with your hope habits, and understand that your hope habits may spark hope for others.
Hope Alerts: Learn how to identify what sparks hope for you, just like the instructor's first experience noticing hope through a plant.
Hope Adjacent: Explore "hope-adjacent" feelings or experiences, to consider facilitators and barriers to hope.
Personal Hope Action Plan: Create a plan with habits you can return to over and over again.
Hope Praxis: Develop a theory of hope that is unique to you.
Imagination: Learn how to imagine alone and together and how to use that to support your hope muscle.
