we have something pretty cool to share! @ZerothAxiom has put together a drive with 'how to run X style event' templates and checklists for anyone to use!

we're going to be updating it over time, this is a very rough draft, but we're looking forward to sharing more resources

Think you're "not good" at conversation? 4 key findings from psychology studies:

[rishi is nesting @rishi_unfolding]

One of the (many) sweet moments at @bowmansschool today was sitting with @pragueyerrr and @gptbrooke discussing the impact we wanted to have on the world

A common theme among our shares was a deeper fostering of connection
