recap from our first meetup
<3
hello friends — new, old, and yet to be made
thank you to everyone who came out to our first meetup, it was truly a beautiful time and space! we were able to get to know one another, share what we’ve been processing regarding the pandemic, and start thinking about what we’d like this group to hold moving forward.
we also created a set of group agreements (take a look below) — this is a living set of agreements and are always up for discussion and addition in the future!
there was consensus around the desire to meet more, with a frequency of approximately 1x month. it may take us a little while to get there, but plans for the next meetup are in the works
agreements:
ask for what you need, offer what you can
speak one at a time — try not to interrupt (to your best ability!)
when indoors, mask! if you need to unmask (i.e. to eat, drink water) please step outside or leave the shared room for that time
when possible, we’ll plan to meet outdoors
be honest!
approach conflict as an opportunity for growth
don’t freeze people in time (recognize that people can change, listen, and grow!)
listen + talk in good faith
ask questions for clarification and understanding
don’t assume others’ intentions
do what you need for your body
Yay! <3
