If community builders burn out, then “the way things are” wins.Feeling pulled in many directions – maybe it’s kinda hard to catch your breath? Or are you even at-risk for burnout in your community work (paid or unpaid)?
So how about putting on your “oxygen mask” to catch your breath for now? And try some fresh practices, in good company, to build your resilience for the long run!

• We want you to let you know about any changes (due to weather etc) and we want to have enough food and supplies, without wasting.
Schedule for Saturday, September 21
• 11:15-11:30am arrival and lunch served, socializing begins. (Semi-potluck; main dishes provided. Please bring something to share if you can, but don't let that keep you away.)
• 11:55am the Circle opens so we can finish up by 4pm, including breaks. It’s important to be there from 11:55am to 4pm, since what we do builds on itself.
Who’s it for? Any prior experience needed?
We who are engaged in community building in any setting, paid or unpaid – we who give so much to others - may want to recharge professionally or personally.
• All are welcome who are building their community – or hope to - whether paid or not

Why?
“There is something in every one of you that waits and listens for
the sound of the genuine in yourself.
It is the only true guide you will ever have.
And if you cannot hear it,
you will all of your life
spend your days on the ends of strings
that somebody else pulls.”
― Howard Thurman, former chaplain of Boston U & Howard U, mentor to generations of activists and community builders
