As we mark the first 100 days of the new administration, we invite you to gather in community to reflect, process, and share your experiences. This virtual listening circle offers a supportive space to connect with others, speak from the heart, and be heard.

Whether you’ve attended past sessions or are joining for the first time, your presence is welcome and valued. Together, we can honor our individual and collective experiences during this time of transition.

Connection and support. 

The goal of this listening circle is to create space for shared emotional connection about the current administration's impact on ourselves, our families, and our communities. We aim to explore the collective experience together.  This listening circle will provide a space for people to connect, share their experiences, and look to the future. 

To prepare for this experience, we want to give some structure to the event and ask you to reflect on the following questions. 

  • Am I prepared to listen deeply to those I may not agree with?

  • Am I prepared to share my experience and perspective even if others disagree with me? 

  • Am I prepared to sit in discomfort? 

  • Do I have an apprehension about attending, and if so, can I share it with someone?

  • Will I be able to address the apprehension and still participate?

  • Do I have support if I cannot continue with the process?

During this large and small circle experience, you will be asked questions to explore this issue more deeply. You will be coming together with people you may or may not know. During the listening circle, you have the responsibility to listen and an opportunity to be listened to.
