Introducing Friday Community Chats
A private space to chat about our offline community-building online
Hey loves! With the Winter Solstice around the corner and Winter Solstice Zines in hand, our germinating dreams of building offline, in real life community are about to begin together.
Lesley and I have been talking about how we want this project to really center offline, in real life community building, and honor the slowness and rest of this winter slumber. We also want a consciously time-boxed weekly online place to talk about how that offline community building is going for everyone, and a place to share all that emerges from this seed of a project in everyone’s respective places.
In that spirit, we’re excited to introduce a weekly Friday Chat to Substack subscribers. Each Friday, we’ll post a weekly excerpt from the journal and a guiding question for us all to chat about together as we share the rabbit holes this work is leading us to in our own communities and lives.
Like everything in this substack space: keep it kind! Let’s support each other in building our offline communities through this weekly online thread.
How to get started
You can access the chat on the web, or get the Substack app by clicking this link. New chat threads won’t be sent sent via email, but if you’d like, you can turn on push notifications so you don’t miss conversation as it happens (we will have notifications off, so don’t feel obliged to turn yours on!)
Open the app and tap the Chat icon. It looks like two bubbles in the bottom bar, and you’ll see a row for my chat inside.
That’s it! Jump into today’s thread comment on the latest Friday prompt! If you have any issues, check out Substack’s FAQ.
In Solstice Dreaming,
