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.

Friends, Have you eaten? Have you drank some water? Stretched or taken a quick walk? My kitchen clock gadget is programmed to remind me about these things intermittently throughout the day. It’s hard times out here and caring for ourselves to the best of our ability...

Welcoming Together at Work

Last month, The Adaway Group turned fifteen! I never expected to start a consulting firm. I thought I would work for a company my entire career but I became so incredibly disillusioned and disappointed with the leadership at my organization that I couldn’t take it one...

Mid-year Reflection & Prompts to Guide the Way

I always create space for intentional reflection in January and July. I love pausing to think about the ways I have shown up and the ways I’ve missed the mark. How have I built community? In what ways have I been of true service? Where do I need to grow and explore my...
