this time of unknown. You are invited to join our calls, which will mirror our community gatherings, in that they are a safe, affirming space for all to express themselves and find/give emotional support. We are mindful of the potentially isolating impact of this situation so we gently encourage you to lean into community and join us as we hold space in our hearts for one another during this time. Our compassion for you is not canceled, our empathy is not canceled, and our communal resilience will shine through despite what we are facing! |

TIPS USING ZOOM: - When not speaking, mute yourself.
- Be mindful that you are giving everyone an equal chance to share. If you are sharing a lot, take a ‘step-back’ and let others chime in for a bit.
- There is a chat box when using ZOOM, feel encouraged to use this to share and communicate. Facilitators will do our best to address what is put into chat.
- You will have the option to share video so participants can see you or not, you may use this function to the degree you are comfortable.
- When possible, it is helpful if you are in a quieter environment for the call. When there is a lot of background noise it can become hard to hear when you are speaking or sharing.
