Community Labs
laboratories for communal strategies.
Our Labs are playgrounds for collaborative exploration and inquiry, weaving resources that cultivate practices for collective care within communities.
Community Labs are either initiated by practitioners or convened by institutions or community leaders. The creative process is centered on the hopes and strengths within the context and follows a line of inquiry focused on an area chosen by the community.
“I could take the exercises and use them when I needed to feel calmer, like before going to sleep. I don’t have so many difficult thoughts now”.
