This week’s theme: to be decided.

From Theia:

So for Session Two and Three as holding description, perhaps we can write for now:

Aging, Disability and Healthcare in Times of Capitalism and Collapse: Theme TBC

Invitation for those with lived experience in the space to speak to the theme.
We invite them to share the messy real, the mundane practicalities, the sorrows and profound moments.
And their hopes for change, now and in the future.
DM @Theia if you want to nominate your self.

If they choose we also invite them to comment on what is unhelpful to hear, and too frequently stated by well-meaning people who have not lived this.

The intention here is to avoid, for example, ableist statements that can harm and by doing so, further our collective understanding.

Depending on numbers we will shift into break out space (groups of 3-4) or discuss as a collective.
Intention to consider how we can improve the current state.
What we would want to carry into potential future states of collapse.

♥ with a beautiful melody asking you to reflect, imagine and co-create alternate futures.

Proposed Future Themes:

Ageing: agency and care
Elders: the gift of intergenerational community
Disability: invisible and visible
Healthcare
Decolonising it all
Death

Knowing many stories is wisdom.
Knowing no stories is ignorance.
Knowing only one story is death.
