I'm waiving all donations for my contributions (training/convening) to this effort.
All facilitators are volunteers - and I am hoping that they will reimbursed for their labors by donation

We currently have about 9 active facilitators who have committed to holding a once monthly Gathered Meeting by donation - so I'm hoping we will be able to have a couple meetings each week for folks to be able to drop into or attend regularly

Gathered Meeting is a space to sit still and in silence together, to draw on our shared strengths and resources, grieve and celebrate together when necessary, and stay grounded in the work in front of us.
You are welcome to come sit with us as we build out a network of resting spaces

One blessing in this process has been consistently being affirmed. One of the external tenure reviewers, Dr. Marcus Anthony Hunter, shared his evaluation of my case and gave me permission to share it. His assessment was ignored. You can read the letter here drive.google.com/file/d/11fm2...

Reading this I gasped in agony & horror/moral injury. I feel this as the most intense punch to the gut (& soul) as someone who has had 3 separate breast cancers and who has been a fierce patient advocate. Please send my love to your friend.

A friend drove two hours today for her breast cancer chemotherapy only to learn it was canceled due to NIH cuts. Clinical trial ended midstream. No treatment, no restart, no plan, no information. Her bro-in-law's chemo was also canceled.
