The Hive: A Center for Contemplation, Art, and Action

<h2>Come BE: A Courage to Connect Offering</h2><h3>Domain: Collective Action</h3>Space held by Shanda Sugg, Daniel Hughes, and Troy Bronsink in the spirit of Courage to Connect, for BIPOC and white participants of all gender identities."This space will not be perfect, it will not always be what we want it to be. But it will be our brave space together..."— from Brave Space by Micky ScottBey JonesWhat are you learning? What practice and friendships are supporting you? What are you feeling connected to? What disconnections and isolations are you noticing or grieving?Would it be refreshing to revisit the personal and shared resilience experience of intentionally held Brave Space?Courage to Connect has grown over the years to include hundreds of small group spaces for abolitionism. We've learned practices including bearing witness, boundaries, noting, and the R.A.I.N. method. But most of all we’ve come to experience that holding Brave Space together brings resonance and shared experiences to give deeper attention to what is arising without the need to colonize, neatly package, or close the loop on action and reflection.If you are feeling an urge for this, Shanda, Daniel, and Troy are too. And so we are inviting this contemplative group for Courage to Connect alumni or others interested in Brave Space to revisit the power of these sort of groups:A one-time in-person or virtual event- so our friends from out of town can join us. Feel free to sign up for both, if you are able.The agenda is very loose, and will likely change as participants contribute to shaping the agenda, but we will start with the questions: Why did you say Yes to this invitation?
