New Visions get together
> New visions is a queer feminist collective by and for folks socialized as women from Eastern Europe and the Baltics. They work on the intersection of arts ecology education and activism. They will come together for a potluck for a space to meet, share, listen, and feel into what these changes could become. The coven needs more people to continue, and we also need to rethink our directions — how we organise, how we grow, and how we stay connected and accountable to the communities we care about. If you feel called to join this conversation, please come on Saturday. Bring something to share for the potluck — and let’s see where we can take this together.

Topics include: dealing with  anxiety, procrastination, and panic about writing; finding political  meaning and use in writing; knowing when to stop; communicating well  with people who can give you feedback; setting up support structures for writing.
