A Community Circle is a space for members of a community to gather and share opinions and ideas on a specific subject in a caring, non-hierarchical way. The circles will be mediated by Logina Mostafa, MPH, Director of Queering Existentialism and Restorative Justice Practitioner, and Katarina Bartel, LMSW, Therapist and Restorative Justice Practitioner.
These initial meetings will be capped at 30 people each to ensure that we can be engaged in meaningful conversation and that as many voices as possible can be heard. For the time being, we won’t have a Zoom option to preserve the integrity of a vulnerable space. This is subject to revision after the first meeting, at the facilitators’ discretion and capacity. We encourage you to sign up for ONE of the meetings to begin, to ensure that as many of us as possible can be present at least once to start the collective work of healing and repairing. As the dates get closer, we will send a note if there is space available for more people to sign up.
