Design Principles

Whether you are traveling to CA or zooming in from elsewhere, you can expect:

An asynchronous hybrid experience that includes core times when all of us meet via the virtual portal and other times when we may be doing different things in different time zones and bodies

Grounding in the land, lineage, and movement culture of Oakland and The Bay, which is Ohlone land.  Visit and learn with local partners.

Spaciousness and caring attention to logistics and access, and encouragement to take space to care for ourselves in community

Connection, learning, and fun in person and online –solo, group and self-organized spaces where choice and access are built in

Facilitated opportunities to discuss and contribute to organizational strategy in generative ways

Appreciation and celebration of our committed and hard-working team’s brilliance and power under increasingly challenging conditions
