STRATEGY HOUR: What’s the buzz?

The top of the month starts with a virtual Strategy Hour as a drop-in time for folks from all backgrounds to collectively share and strategize about what is happening in their communities related to health and healing. Facilitation is minimal and organic. These are an action-oriented time to workshop ongoing issues and build relationships. Strategy Hours hold the necessary reactivity to counteract the reinvested violence of this moment. 

POLITICAL PEDAGOGY: Another world is possible.

Political Pedagogy is then a facilitated time to hold the truth – that another world is possible. These two-hour hybrid sessions use joyful arts-based activities to tackle complex visioning in playful ways. Contrasting a classroom, sessions are curated as a collaborative workshop in the practice of a pedagogy that values the method of collective wisdom and processed learning. Each session asks participants to cultivate an action to bring back to their community as a method of dissemination and power building.

STRATEGY HOUR: There is more to care.

The second Strategy Hour is again a virtual drop-in time for folks from all backgrounds to collectively share and strategize about what is happening in their communities related to health and healing. Additionally, this is time for folks who attended Political Pedagogy to extend joy and action to address present and arising issues in the health and healing landscape. 

QUARTERLY MEAL (March, June, September, December)

Let’s break bread.

The priority deadline was March 3rd, but applications are still open.

Do you know a systems thinker committed to economic justice in health? Is this self-starter highly organized and a general badass? Do they have quantitative research skills and would be thrilled to steward radical programming that bridges the present healthcare system with the health and healing landscape we deserve?
