Deep Dives
Online Conversations
We meet online monthly for deep listening, sharing and connection around a theme that is 'up' for us. In this way, we receive support in staying resourced and strong for our local communities and important work at hand.

Past Deep Dives
"On Death and Dying"
In this grand cycle of life, all things go through change and the process we call death, the end of a form of life as we have known it. Besides happening to our body, it can also can be applied to those times in our life where we must die to something. We can also see collective cycles coming to a close as a kind of death.
"Living in the Not-Knowing"
Our relationship with uncertainty is a vital component in our inner resilience.So many of us are struggling with the big questions of where we are going and what's going to happen, also what is true existentially-- both on a personal and on a collective level. We do have ideas, some of them very strongly supported--which have a trajectory, but ultimately we really don't know how it these ideas will play out for us or our communities.
"Who Do We Choose to Be?"
"Sharing Sacred Space"
"Gratitude"
"Gender"

"Who Do We Choose to Be?"
- What human qualities are needed for a life-sustaining society?
- What qualities am I cultivating now that enable me to live reciprocally?
- How much am I a product of forces I have no control over and how much can I actually choose how and who I want to be?
- When I envision myself realizing my highest potential to assist with the change I want to see in the world, what does that look like?
"Sharing Sacred Space"
- What role does the sacred play in our life? Where and how do we invite it in?
- What is the dark in our life and what is the light that we are inviting in?
- How does connecting to the natural cycle of the solstice connect us to ourselves?
- How do we use this time as a way to build our inner capacity?
"Gratitude"
- What are we struggling with and what are we grateful for in our experience of this struggle?
- How do I connect to gratitude in my life on a regular or daily basis?
- How does gratitude shift my experience, especially when I'm facing adversity?
- How can I feel thankful as I stay connected to challenges happening now? In other words, how do I avoid a spiritual bypass?
"Gender"
- How do I experience and express my power and my powerlessness as a woman/man?
- What does it mean to me to be a woman/man today and how is my gender identity shifting?
- How have I felt wounded by the other gender? How have I stereotyped the other gender as a result of this wounding?
- What comes up for me when I envision a community where the masculine and the feminine is honored equally?
"The Gift Within our Shadow and Conflict"
- How have I projected my hidden parts unto others?
- How has my experience with conflict been impacted by my shadow?
- How have I and my activism benefited from shining a light on the dark side?
- What are ways in which my shadow has gifted me?
