Hello!
We are in for a treat this month with guest speaker McKensie Mack (pronouns: they/them) coming to share their Boundary Work™ on Thursday, March 10th
from 5 to 6:30 p.m. PST. McKensie says:
"Drawing boundaries is the process of finding our courage. Holding boundaries is the process of keeping it.
Boundaries help us build and maintain relationships that are important for encouraging us to unlearn harmful patterns of thinking and mythologies around unhealthy power dynamics.
BOUNDARIES SET US FREE.
Without them, we don’t have the tools we need to stand up for ourselves and others when we encounter injustice - and in the world we live in; a world that’s becoming increasingly aware of the ways our social relationships have a major impact on our overall well-being, who we are, and who we choose to be - having the right resources to communicate what we will and will not do - is critical."
