THRIVE Symposium

THRIVE is a platform for building a network to create and sustain powerful change through harnessing the transformative power of collective experience.

I don't have words yet for the amazing @FindingNevo1 but tears, laughter, gratitude. Follow this human. Wit & compassion @SymposiumTHRIVE

Fierce compassion cannot be left out of the conversation of how to support radical change & safety. Rei Alphonoso @SymposiumTHRIVE

We all have to shave parts of ourselves to fit gender roles. Unconscious awareness of this loss lies behind transphobia @SymposiumTHRIVE

Day 1 wisdom: "We don't always know our boundaries till they're crossed, so need self-compassion for our responses." Day 2 @SymposiumTHRIVE

Our diversity means there is no universal process of conflict resolution. We need to widen. @PlanToThrive @SymposiumTHRIVE #thrive2017

[Laura McLauchlan https://bsky.app/profile/lauramcl @ShadowEcologies]

How to acknowledge systems of oppression in conflict yet demand accountability? How to support positive change? Vital qs @SymposiumTHRIVE
