River: Flow and resilience

In spring, the river is fresh, full and almost overflowing—held by its banks and sometimes needing to create new pathways. How can we invite fullness, flow and vitality into our gatherings?

Chester Borden takes us inside the bustle of the Whitney Pier Youth Club. Slyvia Parris-Drummond and Toria Aidoo talk about what they value most about gatherings in their Afrocentric communities. Brook Thorndycraft, Tyler Colbourne, Helene Branch and Duncan Ebata all share experiences of hosting spaces that are safe-enough, playful and nourishing. We close with Coco Love Alcorn singing her beautiful song, The River.
