What opportunities can be gained from building a community of practice centered around #HealingJustice within the #fediverse?

What kinds of risks should we be aware of when #CommunityOrganizing in a virtual environment like Mastodon?

What kind of resources will we need to create a safe container for folks engaging in any #SocialJustice organizing in the #fediverse?

For context, here is an excerpt from #AlliedMedia describing what we'd like to create here

What is a #HealingJustice Practice Space?

"A Healing Justice Practice Space (HJPS) is an all-gender, allbodied, inclusive and accessible space for practicing and receiving healing that is built in partnership with social justice movement work and sites of political action.

These spaces typically offer a wide variety of health and healing services, including (but not limited to) first aid, counseling and crisis support, mediation services, massage therapy, acupuncture, energy work, herbal therapy, divination, art therapy, nutritional counseling, and yoga.

Sometimes they are aligned with public healthcare systems and sometimes they are independent.

Sometimes they include opportunities for building analysis and sharing political education, sometimes they focus solely on individual and collective healing."

Would something like this work to help us get started?

Also, my capacity will be a bit limited once the next semester starts, so I've reached out to #AlliedMedia and #CaraPage to see if they can recommend someone with the capacity to moderate and/or coordinate virtual programming.

I agree that its important to include many more voices around this topic and it would be nice to work with folks who have experience doing virtual #CommunityOrganizing around #HealingJustice

@meoutloud @theneurotrust hello! Ty for tagging me :) #AlliedMedia started more than 20 years ago f2f and had grown intentionally and organically ever since. #HealingJustice has had growing presence there, including network gatherings, workshops, plenaries, and whole tracks! A few resource links:
