How has mainstream discourse shaped our understanding of boundaries? Why do so many of us rely on the concept of setting boundaries to structure our lives and relationships? What do we lose (and gain) by accepting pop psychology at face value? And how can we reimagine and build boundaries in ways that honor our individuality, relationships, and organizing?
Join us for a conversation featuring writer and artist LILY SCHERLIS, where we will discuss boundaries and engage in practices to begin shifting how we embody them.
