For EPIP Boston, we see our theme of Centering Community as an opportunity to build both our individual resilience to weather the storms of these times as well as our collective capacity to strengthen and support one another in our communities. 

At the May 15th Community Conversation, we heard members advocate for increased opportunities to make connections, strengthen networks, and convene informally in supportive spaces. Acknowledging the urgency that many of us (and our organizations) are experiencing, we also heard the need to slow down, take a breath, and find moments of joy.  

In that spirit, the EPIP Boston steering committee invites you to join us on July 22nd at 5:00pm ET at Dorchester Brewing to pause, connect, and laugh together! 

Food from M&M BBQ and both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages from Dorchester Brewing will be provided. For directions, please visit the Dorchester Brewing website - linked here.

Spread the word! We welcome members and non-members to join us, so feel free to share with your networks. 

Please be sure to RSVP by EOD Friday, July 18th! We are excited to be in community with you!

by Caitlin Fisher, co-chair of EPIP Boston I’ve spent the past few years learning about network theory and communities of practice in my role as deputy director of the Prime Movers fellowshipprogram at Hunt Alternatives. For those unfamiliar with this concept, a community of practice by definition it is a group of people informally bound together by shared expertise and passion for a joint enterprise — and it promises to radically galvanize knowledge sharing, learning, and change...

PCN gatherings provide participants with opportunities to explore identity, race, and social impact. The content of PCN gathering itself is three-fold: 1) personal connections to social justice work; 2) understanding structural racism; and 3) bringing this work back home.
