Less transactional, more relational.
Reclaiming power through nurturing community care
Dear reader,
After a few months of being consumed by creating, and then running, the debut iteration of Green Dreamer’s 12-week imagination program, ~alchemize~ (plus now gearing up to launch its second cohort which you can learn more about here), I am back to re-establish my writing habit.
To be honest, without grant support for Green Dreamer this year (and never corporate sponsorships), we felt pressured with an urgency to create a sort of “signature program” of our own in an attempt to be able to replace the more significant grants we had during our years prior. Publishing over 400 “free” podcast episodes and asking for voluntary small-dollar Patreon memberships has not been substantial enough to fully sustain our work, so we had to get creative in thinking of alternative ways to continue operating. Overall, we are stoked about how the first cohort went, though admittedly, it did take me away from my monthly explorations here. But I have not forgotten about this newsletter!
Open loops, loose threads…
These have been extremely difficult and dystopic times that often make me feel at a complete loss for words. At the same time, there is so much spinning and spilling over my mind that I look forward to now having more mind and heart space again to sit down and let my ponderings flow.
