Change making conversations for transitioning times.
Reading. Sharing. Shaping change.
Conversations. Care. COVID Conscious.
Pull up a chair, the road is long.
An online weekly gathering around a selected book, article, paper, or media as a focal point for future building and change making conversations. Centering chronically ill and/or disabled, respirator wearing, COVID realism, progressive minded, and folks who want to help shape change.
To ensure attendees are a good fit for the intention of the group, application and approval is required. While we can't guarantee safe spaces, we can work to foster safer spaces that align with our values. You do not need to be chronically ill and/or disabled to take part, but be a co-conspirator and accomplice to disability justice and the dismantling of white supremacy patriarchal structures. Regular respirator-wearing people only, please. Gatherings will be on Zoom and limited to the people who meet the needs of the group.
Currently we are meeting on Friday’s at 11:00am PT, 12:00pm MT, 2:00pm ET
Each gathering is 90min./+.
For participants: I trust you will do what you need to do to take care of your needs. If that means you arrive late or leave early, I respect that and am glad you can come for the time you can. If you have to step away for any reason, or be off camera, that’s cool too. If we want to tear down the patriarchy, we can’t be upholding the standards that help define it. Please note that your presence is welcome, as you are. If you want to listen only, and/or communicate in the chat, that is OK. I may offer inquiry questions or follow-up questions, and responses are always optional. I want to ensure a low-stress, non-performative, and enriching environment.

“I believe culture is infrastructure. The stories we tell—through fiction, art, and media—shape what futures feel possible, who belongs in them, and how we act in the present.”
“All that you touch you change. All that you change changes you. The only lasting truth is change.”
“Anger is a forward-looking emotion, rooted in the idea that there should be change. Resentment, on the other hand, is locked in the past and usually generates no meaningful difference in the situation.”
“Let’s put aside the goal of doing it perfectly, and replace it with the trust that we can do it differently.”
