Mokita® Dialogues - Belonging
2021-01-28 11:00 - 12:00 UTC | Zoom
Let’s Talk… For A Change
Held the fourth Thursday of every month through zoom, these brown bag discussions not only highlight topics of vital interest – elephants in the room – but provides opportunities for follow-up and action.
Each Mokita® Dialogue session, led by a different facilitator from through the community, includes a brief presentation, engaging activities that encourage thought and conversation, and suggestions for ways to continue the discussion.
Join us to learn, to listen, and to be engaged in finding solutions for these important issues. It is time to come together to acknowledge the ‘elephants’ that exist across our community and how we can address them.

Each week explores a different theme. 2021 will feature new activities, games, and ways to connect!
Week 1: Grow. June 8 – 10, 2021:
This camp explores how we have grown and continue to grow as people. “Who and what are my roots, what do they give to me? What are my strengths and how do I nourish myself for growth?” will be among the topics considered.
*If there are thunderstorms or severe inclement weather, we, unfortunately, would be unable to be outdoors. In this case, we will move everything possible to move to a virtual platform.
