These times call for practice, deeper listening, and spaces of support. With that awareness, we are excited to announce our Taproot Pod Institute! This is an opportunity to co-learn and practice new skills that can strengthen pod building. We are looking for Black folks who are already striving to establish pods and need support and more information to strengthen their circles of care.
The intention of this collective experience is to support Black individuals that are seeking an intentional pod building within their communities, want to hold a direct role of establishing a pod, and an intentional deepening of their established or soon to be established care groups. At REP we define pods as a group of people who have come together to support through crisis, care, and mutual support with shared, intentional agreements. Our goals as facilitators is to support in skill building around collective care practices, share critical political education, encourage application of strategies to create pods, and provide necessary information and resources on what folks building and leading pods should expect to come up.
