Back in November, we published an essay on Connection Grift, exploring the ways in which experts, tech entrepreneurs, politicians, and national nonprofits exploit the renewed focus on community and connection for personal gain.
Many Connective Tissue members have experienced this phenomenon firsthand as practitioners, neighbors, and community folk. We want to take a moment to discuss and analyze the essay’s implications together.
What resonated with you?
What challenged you?
What might you do, say, or honor after reading this piece?
We’ll discuss these questions and more, with a chance to connect with fellow members in pairs and as a larger group. Special thanks to Connective Tissue members Evan Vahouny and Annysa Polanco for initiating and facilitating this event!
