ABOUT FABRIC
Regular gatherings knitting together threads of
community, care, creativity and conscious co-creation
Fabric gatherings are seasonal events filled with workshops, creative activities, care offerings and shared community space. At Fabric you can learn frameworks and practice ways of being rooted in equity, inclusion and wholeness. Activate your creative expression. Enjoy thoughtful nourishment and collective care experiences. Connect with like-minded folks co-creating sustainable community solutions.
“Fabric represents the opportunity to resonate with more people about the vision of creating sustainable community solutions and practicing community care, instead of responding to emergencies and remaining trapped reacting to the attacks of this administration.”
– Denisse Cruz, Co-Executive Director at Havenly and has both facilitated and participated in Fabric.
Fabric is freely offered and produced with 🧡 by CEIO.
Co-Created with Community
Fabric gatherings highlight local facilitators, care workers, creatives, healers, artists and organizers who are practicing using their power to imagine and co-create new possibilities rooted in embodied action, mutuality and transformative justice. As Roshi Joan Halifax recently wrote, “we bring things alive in and through relationality, through community and collective actions that are focused on benefitting the greater whole.”

What the community is saying…
“Fabric was well designed, engaging, joyful, informative and spacious in regards to coworking.”
“I met some new people and hugged friends I haven’t seen in several years.”
“I loved that there was a comfortable space to work, with plenty of opportunity to interact with others but also no obligation to socialize. I got so much work done and felt energized just by being in a well-lit space with the fresh air coming in, the presence of others, and access to food and drink.”

What the community is saying…
Through attending Fabric “we have gained invaluable decision-making tools, social change frameworks, and organizational language to describe the challenges we face every day as an organization committed to systems change in the immigrant community. It is deeply rare to find such a profound, productive and welcoming space to explore these issues as individuals committed to this work.”
– Caterina Passoni, Co-Founder & Growth Director at Havenly
“I am so grateful to Fabric for offering such a great workshop at the exact moment we needed it. The material was so precise, and it was really interactive and inspiring.”

What the community is saying…
April’s “Collaging For Collective Liberation workshop was a great way to end the day using a different part of my brain than what I use for work.”
