Join us for a presentation and conversation with Shakti Butler focused on "Planting Seeds for the Future". This presentation will focus on how we work towards a vibrant future where belonging, not othering, is the norm through bridging and other collective relationships.
Shakti will ask us to consider: When you envision the future, what do you think about? What are some of your hopes and concerns? and What are our roles individually and collectively?
