Kinship Gatherings are spaces for CDE family (alum, staff, partners) to meet, connect, refresh old relationships and weave new webs. The agenda for Kinship Gatherings is loose, but the objective is clear: together we will remember our collective power and community. We will recharge; we will find shoulders to rest on and offer our own as resting places. We will laugh, tell stories, make connections and plant seeds of beautiful change. CDE facilitators intend to create a space held with grace for emergent conversations and in support of what arises for participants during our time together.
