đź“Ł đź“… Event share!

For anyone trying to regrow and recalibrate post-pandemic, these workshops came highly recommended from the host of a stellar community event I was at last night! My sense is that maybe the sort of people who attend hacknights might be seeking a sense of purpose in a way that this event supports :)

also, feel free to bring any learning from their format back into the civic hacknight space :heart:
