A reflective conversation for people working with community to slow down and explore the deeper questions shaping our work.
About this Event

People who hold space for others need space held for them too.

People working with and caring about community often carry a lot in the spaces they work.

Thinking Together is a space to slow down and surface wisdom together โ€” to pause and to reflect.

This gathering will explore agency: where we have it, where we donโ€™t, and where we might have more than we think โ€” in the choices we make and the spaces we inhabit.

__________________________


Who this is for

We welcome people working in and alongside community in many different roles, organizations, and lived relationships with community - including those in nonprofit organizations, grassroots initiatives, government, and research.

Whether you work, volunteer, or identify as community yourself, you are welcome.

__________________________


What to expect
  • Guided individual and collective reflection and conversation
  • Space to reflect, listen, and share perspectives
  • No presentations :)
