Join our Monthly Community Board Meeting – This month – special Community Presentation from Tessa Anttila & Review Updated Bylaws –
Join us for a special community presentation led by facilitator **Tessa Anttila**, designed to help us navigate transition, build trust, and strengthen our shared work as the Shingle Creek and Victory neighborhoods continue moving forward together.
This session will outline a relational and restorative process grounded in Transformative Justice and Emergent Strategy, focusing on:
• Understanding conflict as information, not failure
• Learning how to engage with discomfort, mistakes, and harm in a productive way
• Building capacity for deep listening, honest dialogue, and relational repair
• Addressing dynamics around power, race, history, and organizational identity
• Creating a stronger foundation for inclusive, values-driven community work
Tessa’s approach prioritizes **honesty, accountability, and adaptability** over blame or control. This work isn’t about quick fixes—it’s about equipping our community with the tools we need for long-term connection, collaboration, and resilience.
Come ready to show up with curiosity and courage. Together, we’ll explore a path toward a more integrated and compassionate future.
