PURPOSE: Making this work sustainable and strengthening our relationships.
This is an invitation to show up for the time that you can, make a few connections, get some rest and food, and take collective care – you can stay as long or as short a time as is useful for your wellbeing. We know that there’s still work to be done, and our folks didn’t get us here without making time to be together eating, chanting, moving, etc. Making space for care is what allows us to transmute the secondary and vicarious trauma we often experience in this work.
PURPOSE: Making this work sustainable and strengthening our relationships.
“Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare.” – Audre Lorde
