Let's chat here about days and times that work well for folks! I'm always looking for body doubling as someone who works from home! 💖 Please include time zones as well since I know we're all over the place. 🥰

1. Breathe. In case you feel overwhelmed with all the posts, just breathe. Take your time. You're exactly where you're supposed to be, and the feelings are all breadcrumbs. Everything here is optional. 2a. Introduce yourself in the comments here with a story of your name. It might include some cultural context 2b. Share a hope/goal for being a Cycle Breaker. 3. Go into classroom and watch “Start Here”, where it will tell you some guidelines about this community. Reminder: You’re here for you—to figure YOU out and to be in a space where people are learning to be authentic with healthy boundaries and communicating in non violent ways.

At a friend gathering, a dear friend started sharing thoughts on immigration that was hard for me to hear, as the only non white member. So I requested she speak about her direct experience rather than her opinion on what other people are/aren’t allowed to do. I also requested she share the group time with others since we only gather every few months. It was heated for a few moments, but better for everyone after that. [zoom out] As Cycle Breakers, the burden of making spaces feel more safe may land on you a bit more, because you have the skillset and awareness. We “need” more Cycle Breakers to shift the collective from conditioning to consciousness. “Need” not in a “salvation” way, but as in “need” as it will make the transition so much smoother. See folx on Tue at 9:45am for our weekly open group. *FYI: Andrea, a skilled Boundary Coach trainee, will host Tue group on 3/10 while I’m at a Family constellation conference next week. - BIPOc group on Thur, 3/12 will move to Fri, 3/13 at 7pm EST instead. @Tashiana Dew @Mai Le @Joan A @Natasha Merchant @Andrea Atkinson @Nikki Thorpe
