Soft with Karina Henwood

September’s global theme is SOFT!

“What if our work was softer? What would we make with a little tenderness? Art that truly resonates. Innovations that heal instead of harm. Communities that hold one another instead of tearing other people down.

Soft can be a quiet form of resistance. Practice subtlety, trust, and intimacy in a world that celebrates loud braggadocio, knee-jerk reactions, and blunt force. Soft can be our salvation.”

WHAT TO EXPECT: - 7:30am: Doors open! We’ll welcome you in, check your name off the list, invite you to grab a free coffee, a breakfast bite and fill out fun, thought-provoking name tag.
