Building Resilient Community: A Reading Group Facilitated by Maddy Lavangie (8 Wednesdays)

Interested in community building with an open mind and a desire to connect? Join Building Resilient Community, an 8-week reading group facilitated by Maddy Levangie. The primary reading material will be Emergent Strategy by adrienne maree brown, and based on the group’s interest, other materials like podcasts, book chapters, or articles may be added. Meetings will consist of discussion of material, activities to help build community amongst the group, and brainstorming ideas for how to implement the material in the broader community. For more information on the author and the book visit adrienne maree brown’s website.

Participants will be actively involved in shaping the program. The first few weeks will be more structured by the facilitator, and later weeks will be informed by the group’s curiosities and goals. Throughout the program, participants will also collaborate to create a way to wrap up the group with a community-facing project, like a manifesto, art piece, community event, etc. For any questions, email levangiemaddy@gmail.com. I am so excited to get to know all of you and learn together!

This reading group is free, and donations are gratefully accepted.
