Naomi Woods (SECA), Michael Geselbracht, Grace Boutilier, Scott Black, Shelby Drope, and Les Meborn.
Thank you to Jenni Ottilie Keppler for capturing and documenting this important and inspiring work!
One of the most vital ways we sustain ourselves is by building communities of resistance, places where we know we are not alone.
