Neil - love this in so many ways! Thanks for sharing about the Dockers, I remember you talking about the tradition and group, and it’s fascinating to hear more about the backstory and process! And - let’s talk about Block! Is Community worth a read in your opinion - as someone who’s interested in facilitating community building and collective civic action?
I am digging into Community and think it has a lot to offer, particularly for facilitators to think intentionally about the conversations they are called to facilitate. Block gets quite specific about the importance of questions, who's in the room and how the room is set up, all meant to reinforce the idea of belonging.

Cheers to the Dockers! And to summer time ice cream!
Neil, so beautifully written and heartwarming.
Thank you. This was a fun one to write.
Thanks, Neil! Another great issue of Shorter!
