Visions for a Radically Different World: A podcast series

This podcast series kicked off in January and features conversations with regular people brainstorming what it might look like to create systems and structures that are rooted in care and designed to serve the collective. Check it out and let me know what you think

The companion Substack and offers folks a chance to weigh in with their experiences and questions and be in conversation with one another. I'd love to hear your ideas for future episodes, know how the conversations we're having are landing with you, and if there's something I'm missing.

Let's Stay in Touch

The world is a lot right now and yet, I know so many amazing people who are coming from a place of love and hope and community care. It is going to take all of us supporting each other in a million different ways to shift systems and structures so that they are really serving us in the best ways. I'm committed to finding ways we can stay resourced and healthy so if you have requests or ideas or just want to share what you're feeling, I'm always here.

XO, Kari

Playing Catch Up How is it already June 10? Don't misunderstand: I thought that May was THE LONGEST MONTH I'VE YET EXPERIENCED ON THIS PLANET, but somehow, once it was over, June exploded all over everything. The passionfruit vine in my backyard is literally heaving with fruit. The hibiscus shrub is showing off with dozens of hot pink blossoms as big as my face. The Geminis I know are all having birthdays. It's a riot of color and sunshine and energy and butterflies and hummingbirds and I...

Happy Spring! Podcast, Workshop Dates, and a Request Actually, I think I'll work backwards, if that's ok A Request If you've been following me for any time at all, you will probably remember that I've been supporting a Palestinian family since October of 2023.
