Join Connective Tissue’s Chief Tissue Officer, Sam Pressler, for an interactive AMA about our new membership model.

Sam will briefly share about our vision for Connective Tissue’s next phase, and then he’ll open it up to questions, conversations, and feedback for the remainder of the AMA session. This is a chance to learn more about Connective Tissue membership while meeting some of your prospective fellow members!

Join Casper ter Kuile — the featured guest for our July 24th Q&A, the author of The Power of Ritual and the Joyful Belonging newsletter, and the co-founder of the Sacred Design Lab — for a post-Q&A AMA session.

During the event, you’ll have the opportunity to ask Casper anything you want — whether they be follow-up questions you have from reading the AMA, or other questions about his current and past work. We’re excited to have one of the leading thinkers on the topics of community, connection, belonging, meaning-making, and spirituality to join us for our first official AMA session.

Interested in shaping the future of the Connective Tissue member network? Have an idea for an event you want to lead or a resource you want to build? Then you should attend our first Membership Committee Interest Meeting.

During this meeting, we’ll provide a high-level overview of our vision for Connective Tissue’s member governance and shaping, and we’ll propose a few potential options for membership committees. From there, it’ll be on participating members to begin exploring where they want to begin with creating or joining membership committees. By the end of this session, members should have a sense of next steps for standing up at least one initial committee.

Join Connective Tissue for an interactive workshop on cultivating neighborhood membership, featuring three of the most innovative neighborhood practitioners in the US:

• Vanessa Elias, Founder of Block Party USA

• Gerrel Jones, Founder of Renew Birmingham

• D.J. Trischler, Publisher of the Claypole Commons

During this session, you’ll have the opportunity to learn and ask questions about how each practitioner is working to strengthen their particular neighborhoods. You’ll also have the opportunity to join breakout groups to workshop your own strategies to facilitate neighborhood membership, and hear what other Connective Tissue members are working on in their neighborhoods.
