Join us tommorow for one of last service events of the term! As a group, we will remove noxious weeds, including English ivy, clematis, and Himalayan/Armenian blackberry. By removing invasive, non-native plant species, we will help to support wildlife, water runoff, and prevent erosion. Volunteer tasks will include hiking uneven terrain and the use of small tools. Gloves, tools, supervision, and directions will be provided. LINK IN BIO

Interpersonal conflict and disagreement are part of being in relationship with others, but many of us fear conflict. Motivated by many factors, including cultural norms, concern for social consequences, and personal safety, many of us avoid it. What might we learn and how might we grow by making more room for conflict? What skills do we need to responsibly engage in conflict? How can shifting our relationship to conflict offer us new perspectives about ourselves and the groups we belong to? This community conversation is an opportunity to reflect on our relationships to interpersonal conflict outside of where we might most often encounter it, like the heated context of an argument at the dinner table or online. Facilitator Emily Squires will lead a judgement- and jargon-free discussion of what we mean when we say conflict, considering how interpersonal conflict shapes our lives and tools to use when experiencing it.
