Upon This Ground: Mending & Repair Circles with Cecilia Lim
Wednesday, May 7 from 5 to 6:30pm
The Nathaniel Rogers House
2539 Montauk Hwy., BH., NY 11932
Free Admission
How we relate to each other is a big part of our life experience. Interpersonal conflict is part of life and can be generative. The process of working through our conflicts can forge stronger bonds between us. What happened when someone hurt you? What happened when you hurt someone else? How was it addressed/resolved? Are there lessons we can share about how to address conflict, take responsibility for our actions, and repair our relationships? Join care and cultural worker Cecilia Lim for a guided story circle and zine-making workshop. We’ll share about our experiences with conflict, how they impacted us, what we learned, and what we want to try in the future, and make mini-zines to document our takeaways.
Co-sponsored by Ma’s House.
