Small Engine Workshop, 6 – 8pm

Tuesday, April 28

Mutual Aid Social Therapy, 6 – 8pm
RESCHEDULED FROM MARCH! join us for our first session of Mutual Aid Social Therapy (MAST)! Expect about an hour of skillshare workshop followed by about an hour of breakout (ideally triads) sharing/listening circles.

For this first session, skillshare workshop is about MAST itself: what it is, why we need it, and collective decision making about our structures and agreements.

Triads will be self-selected. Each member will talk about whatever they want heard for 15-20 minutes and receive the kind of responses they request (active listening, follow up questions, advice, comfort, other)

Facilitation is by peers, not therapists. Therapists are welcome to attend as equal participants not as professionals.

Friday, May 1 (MAYDAY)
