Friendship & Freedom: Free Workshop

REGISTRATION IS CLOSED: Hi friends, we’re grateful for your interest! We’ve hit our capacity for this event and plan to run additional sessions once I’m back from my sabbatical. If you’re not on our mailing list please sign up (bottom of this page) Let’s get free!

 

When we are in community, when we see each other as kin, when we live beyond ourselves and the family unit we are our most powerful.

 

But folks are tired, folks are lonely, folks are struggling to maintain or make new friendships.

 

Y’all, this is capitalism and other systems of domination at work.

 

Our togetherness is our strength.

 

We get free through knowing and nourishing each other, finding joy and meaning in the everyday — surviving and dismantling these systems will kill us otherwise.

 

Friendship is where we practice liberation.

 

I want to bring a group of us together next week to reflect on these questions:

1. How do we identify and push back on the systemic obstacles keeping us from deep friendship and kinship?

2. In what ways do we need a deeper analysis of the link between friendship and freedom –how is friendship a political and social force for change?

3. How do we develop relationships in which we are completely free? In which our guard is down because we know we’ll be safe and held –even when we mess up.

Join us for this one-hour free interactive workshop as we discuss these questions, build our collective analysis, and maybe make some new friends.

We belong to each other

Tuesday’s result was a gut punch. For many reasons, but mainly because so many of us desperately want something better, something beautiful and just. Because so many of us and our ancestors have worked tirelessly to dream it, to build it. We know our opponent, we know...
