“Emergent Strategy is an adaptive facilitation approach that engages the subtle, yet powerful spiritual and emotional needs of people .”
Mia Herndon of the Emergent Strategy Ideation Institute.

Adrienne Maree Brown is a powerful change maker with a hefty body of work built in large part around this concept of "Emergent Strategy". Her work includes this series of books that explore themes such as finding deep joy in activism, transformative justice, black feminist thinking and more. There are podcasts, activism networks, inspired literature and more surrounding her work. This study group intends to deeply study her work, rooted in the recommended 12 book series that includes work from 10 other authors. To pay respect to emergence, the group may shift to work with other study methods dependent on what feels most in alignment!

In this BRAND NEW ENDEAVOR we will be starting with her root text, "Emergent Strategy". Book club meets self development study group meets activism network.

**About Emergent Strategy:**

"In the tradition of Octavia Butler, radical self-help, society-help, and planet-help to shape the futures we want.

Inspired by Octavia Butler's explorations of our human relationship to change, *Emergent Strategy* is radical self-help, society-help, and planet-help designed to shape the futures we want to live. Change is constant. The world is in a continual state of flux. It is a stream of ever-mutating, emergent patterns. Rather than steel ourselves against such change, this book invites us to feel, map, assess, and learn from the swirling patterns around us in order to better understand and influence them as they happen. This is a resolutely materialist “spirituality” based equally on science and science fiction, a visionary incantation to transform that which ultimately transforms us."

\*\*\*Likely transitioning to Thursdays starting in December, stay tuned\*\*\*

Election results have you freaked?
Yeah, me too.
But mostly, they have me FIRED UP.
ANYTHING we can do to protect ourselves, our loved ones, our communities, and our planet have to be done locally and have to be done with the support of others. Organizing action based, mutual aid communities is more important now than ever.
Come join in on a group that not only identifies what needs to be torn down, but imagines the world we would want to live in. A group that has the tools and connections to make real impacts and change and stands a fighting chance against whatever may be coming.
Now is the time to brush the dirt off our shoulders, stand up, dig our heals in, RESIST and LOVE harder than we ever have before.

Mission Statement (Likely to be edited in coming meetings to better reflect the needs for the group moving forward):
A group for Progressive Preppers!
Does the state of the world scare you? Does the future feel hopeless? Are you ready to explore systems outside of Colonialism and Capitalism?
Come be a part of our community focused mutual aid network. Chat about life and politics; learn achievable action steps and build up your support network.
A brave space for mediated conversations about complex and potentially triggering topics, acknowledging the universal suffering of this moment in history. An interdisciplinary approach to community building pulling on fields of Political Science, Conflict Transformation, Buddhist Philosophy and more.
From coffee table discussions, to guest speakers sharing expertise, to volunteer and community service outings - Unity Collective provides a unique space for engaging with the overwhelming state of the world and building Hope.
Free to attend, donations recommended to build up our resources to support the needs of the group and the world.
