Brew Build #9: Crissy on Presence
Brew & Build: A Cozy Gathering for Connection
Join us for a quiet session focused on building the Open Web, practicing active listening, and nurturing human connection. This month, our topic is presence. Crissy and hosts invite you to share your reflections and experiences on what physical and digital presence means to you!
Safety and Presence
FediCollective is a pro-healing space. We choose kindness and respect in person, just as we do online. This creates a stable environment where everyone can feel safe to participate.
☕ Brew & Build: A Quiet, Introvert-Friendly Meetup
This is a warm, small-group gathering designed for deep connection. We value mutual growth over passive consumption. This is a Generative Event—a gathering designed so every person leaves with more energy and ideas than they arrived with. FediCollective is proud to host this event within the Economy of Wisdom Foundation framework.
Our Small Circle
We limit this event to 9 people. This keeps the energy grounded and ensures everyone has the space to be heard. If your plans change, please update your RSVP early. This allows another peer to join our circle.
Your Hosts
Crissy, Sev, and April are co-founders and collaborators at the Economy of Wisdom Foundation. We bring together builders, care workers, and community thinkers to explore technology that serves human fulfillment.
