2023 course offerings

Check out our Spring 2023 course offerings!

Praxis Group is a community of practice model for facilitators focused on cultivating care, accountability, and cooperation in the workplace and in our lives. 2023 was facilitated by our co-founder varun k sharma. We gathered in person as a cohort once per month in order to develop deeper trust, alignment, and skill as a team. Each session, we were joined by guest teachers including Enroue Halfkenny, Kristianna Smith, the Asian American Peer Counseling Collective, and the Anti-Oppression Resource & Training Alliance.

In between sessions, praxis group members met in pods and with peer mentors to build relationships, lesson plan, and give and receive feedback and support. At the end of the season, each praxis group member piloted an independent seminar and the care team members planned a recessing (re)union and designed a yearbook keepsake.
