Description:

A personal archive kit for reflection, memory, and community

“Our goal is to create a beloved community… and this will require a qualitative change in our souls as well as a quantitative change in our lives.” — Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Join us for an afternoon of reflection and discussion. What We Carry is a personal archive kit - a small envelope filled with prompts and materials to help you notice the everyday moments that shape who you are—and who we are together. Use it to write to your future self, capture a quiet act of care, name something that sustained you, or mark a moment of refusal or possibility.

There’s no right way to engage. Start with a prompt, tuck in a quote, make your own meaning.

Towards the end of the session, you can join an optional Restorative Circle, co-hosted with Leona Quist, to reflect together on what surfaced through the practice.
