About Leander & Stas Phoenix:
Leander (they/he) and Stas (they/them) founded Spring Up in 2013-2014 to build a community of practice embodying consent and liberation within our relationships, creative practices, and daily lives. For 10 years, Spring Up has used fiction, art, role play, and community education to popularize the skills and frameworks necessary to be free together at bluelight academy of the liberatory arts. They have grown into a collective of 11 creatives, care workers, liberatory educators, transformative justice practitioners, and an alumni community of over 1500 people. Spring Up hosts liberatory learning spaces through online classes, print materials and curriculum, retreats, and coaching. They are a worker coop, providing and receiving resources and support in reciprocal and accountable exchange with our community. Spring Up’s core values are Consent, Accountability, and Transformation.
