About Event

Many of us in midlife find ourselves holding multiple generations at once — aging parents on one side, kids on the other — while quietly wondering who's holding us. Author and activist Courtney Martin (Learning in Public) and pathfinder and futurist Mia Birdsong (How We Show Up) will share their wisdom on care, interdependence, and how we can cultivate lives and communities that don't leave anyone stranded. 

For the Curious

Courtney writes about Making Sandwiches as a way of expanding the circle of care

Mia and Courtney in conversation about showing up for our people

Mia’s work at Next River, a think tank for collective liberation — and its field guide Freedom’s Revival: Research from the Headwaters of Liberation
