Dear openjio community,

Hope you're well! We blasted a poll in early May - and we heard that many of you are interested in the topic Lessons moving forward: What did we discover about ourselves during Circuit Breaker.😊

So we decided to organise an event around this theme! In this session, there will be small group sharings guided by our team of facilitators.

We warmly invite you to take this time to connect with yourself, as well as to be present as you connect with the stories of others. ❤

If you're keen, you can sign up here: https://bit.ly/OJMeets

See you this sat at 3pm!

Meanwhile, keep safe and stay well🤗

Cheers,
The openjio team
