Hey Maria! In case you arenāt aware of them and their work, you might be interested in reaching out /ā following @Gidi Kadosh (VIVID), @spencerg (Spencer Greenberg of Clearer Thinking), @Inga (Inga Grossman of Rethink Wellbeing), and probably others Iām blanking out on š
Also, Iām curious about what you mean by āFoundations of Protectionā?
Thank you so much for these recommendations! I really appreciate you pointing me toward people and projects so aligned with my interests. Iāll definitely look into connecting with them. š
By āFoundations of Protectionā I mean the essential inner and outer skills that allow us to make conscious, value-driven decisions that truly do good in the world. Within the Integration & Protection Program, this begins with metacognition, alignment with natural rhythms, and awareness of human needs, skills that strengthen clarity, resilience, and ethical reflection.
On the outer level, protection means cultivating safe communities, environments, and relationships, both within EA and beyond. This ensures that people can contribute meaningfully while feeling supported, connected, and grounded.
I believe that when building or expanding movements like Effective Altruism, itās vital to invest in these foundations first. With strong roots in inner alignment and outer protection, everything else naturally unfolds, without losing sight of ethics, or overlooking the long-term cause and effect of our actions on future generations.
