What are you thinking and feeling?
What do you need in this time and space?
There is no such thing as a “safe space” —
We exist in the real world.
We all carry scars and have caused wounds.
This space
seeks to turn down the volume of the world outside,
and amplify voices that have to fight to be heard elsewhere,
This space will not be perfect.
It will not always be what we wish it to be
But
It will be our space together,
and we will work on it side by side.

Do you agree " there is no such thing as a safe space" why or why not?
How do we "turn down the volume of the outside world and amplify voices that have to fight to be heard", what does that look like, how does that work?
In what ways can we work side by side?
How did the discussion process go today?
