The vivid grove program offers seasonal Racial Justice Fellowships – with preferences to immigrant ppl, QT/BIPOC, disabled folks, and people in financial need who were not raised out of generational wealth.
This enables participants to take several workshops throughout the vivid grove season. Each participant is invited to figure out what is germane/how it feels right for them to participate, based on the offerings and create an agreement with margit for the year. It is built so that this work can grow into deeper inclusivity, equity, and consciousness.
The Fellowship carries an intention to cultivate the vivid grove as a place to deepen in solidarity, to offer teachings to those who might not otherwise feel the capacity to attend, for the vivid grove to further develop its support in collective liberation, and from margit to challenge / dismantle supremacy in hir teaching and offerings.
As part of the Fellowship, Fellowship participants:
~ Create an agreement for workshops at the beginning of the season with Margit
~ Meet individually with Margit at once per season, for conversations in reflections of the work;
~ Meet annually with the Fellowship as a group. Both solo and group gatherings are for shared inquiry about what came from the workshops, - what benefits and what challenges, - and for collective imagining
~ Give a reflection to be completed by the end of each season, which can include written, visual / audio / and creative approaches. - the intention is for feedback and deepening reflection for all.
Does this interest?
To apply, please write a statement if interest, explaining why you believe this might be a good match for you, let me know what you are interested in taking this season, and your desired length of Fellowship (one season, or full year).
Previous Fellowship members are welcome to apply, and previous Fellowship participants are welcome to be involved - we can continue an agreement together to evolve in ideas, creativity, and sharing.
So many relations and creative partnerships have emerged from the Fellowships over the year. I am happy to share references as is useful.
