“We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny."

-Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

How can we practice social connection in a time of physical distancing?

For the last year, we've been exploring how to foster greater inclusion & belonging in our community through A Year of Courageous Conversations. In keeping with current CDC guidelines to stop the spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19), below are some links & resources from our blog to stay connected while we're physically apart.

Are you registered for our next session?
We're still on! From our homes.
Instructions to follow...

Until then, please stay safe & take care of one another.

Stay Connected

TIPS TO STAY TOGETHER WHILE APART:

  • Practice curiosity: Ask others, what are your concerns & what are your joys?

  • Schedule phone or video dates! (Make good use of the great conversation guides below)

  • Send thank you notes, love letters, compliments & gratitudes

  • Check-in with elders & those separated from their families

  • Invite cross-generational discussions of an article, book, podcast or video together

  • Double-check information you share. Is it accurate? Helpful? Inclusive?

  • Stand up to any bias you may encounter. (Revisit the Confronting Prejudice tips below)

  • Support caregivers, service organizations, small businesses & the most vulnerable

  • Contribute anonymously to a neighbor or stranger who may be in need

  • Practice compassion: Spread love, beauty, humor & hope
