It’s easy to find ourselves feeling stuck and alone, full of fear and doubt. Leaning into certain practices and relationships can help us take little steps towards health and healing. In this episode, Chris and Jenny Lillehei remind us that we are not alone and are deeply needed.

CareIQ | Know Yourself

“Know thyself” is said to have been inscribed on the temple of Apollo in ancient Greece. You could say there’s some staying power to the concept. When it comes to caring for one another, the more self-awareness and self-compassion we bring, the more we may be effective in giving and receiving care. Ian McConnell shares some of his thoughts about knowing ourselves and caring for one another in this episode of the Fabric podcast. And, like any decent podcast, there’s juggling!

Tuesday Oct 22, 2024
Providing care isn’t a sign of strength. Receiving care isn’t a sign of weakness. It’s all just a part of being human! We’re kicking off another round of CareIQ with an eye toward a tense election year. In this episode you’ll hear from both Ian McConnell and Heidi Esposito and they share a children’s book (with plenty of wisdom for adults) called, The Rabbit Listened, by Cori Doerrfeld.

North Star | Red in the Shed

Orienteering is all about moving in relation to where north is… you figure out where you wanna go, “put red in the shed,” and head in that direction! This feels like a pretty good strategy for decision making too– aligning our course in relationship to where our “North Stars” are. How might we use this concept?

North Star | Keep Coming Back

Most of us are “off course” most of the time when it comes to aligning our best intentions with what we actually do. Instead of fighting it, what if we could learn to recognize and admit it with a little more ease, grace and regularity? What’s it like to have people to practice that kind of honesty, acceptance and re-orienting with over time? Turns out it’s pretty fun and empowering. And Fabric groups are made for it!

North Star | Get Local

Monday Sep 16, 2024
Happy 18th birthday, Fabric! It seems like more often than not, it’s our local connections – our families, friends, neighbors, etc. – who remind us of who we are, and who serve as a compass in our lives.
“Fabric” reminds us that life can be woven deeply within and among us. We are about weaving the strands of self, others, and the mystery beyond us.
