If you're living with uncertainty, stress, and tension right now, you're not alone. I am, too. As if the election wasn't enough, the world sometimes feels like a never-ending whirlwind of war and ugliness. Sometimes, it can be really difficult to stay hopeful and focused.
If you’re engaged in important community-based work, regardless of your political affiliation, I'd like to invite you join Connect For on election day. I know the day and the days that will follow will be full of uncertainty. But we can connect for what matters. No matter what.
So if you’re in the mood for some reflective and connecting space on election day, drop in for as much time as you have. We'll be thinking through the following questions:
1. What is important about the work you are doing now? Will your work continue with similar constraints and opportunities over the next year? 4 years?
2. In what ways might it change?
3. Where do you source the calm, curiosity, and compassion you need to be present for others and to continue your important work?
4. And, what skills, strategies, and partnerships are needed now to actively prepare for whatever is next?
