About the Rosewood Sessions & Podcast Series
Relational disconnection is threatening our collective social fabric: worldwide we are witnessing trends of greater inequality, polarization, authoritarianism, and othering.
Our sessions are designed to pair organizers, activists, artists, healers, and community leaders for an evening of exchange through storytelling, reflection, and practice, in service of fostering meaningful and mutual connection.
Our hope is that these intimate sessions and community dinners will help us build relationships with other local, NYC-based kin, and inspire us to seek out and build bridges in our own backyards.
