Our calendar tends to look pretty sparse. That's because the real action happens inside ourselves, our homes, schools, workplaces, neighborhoods, and world. It happens in the common stuck places of our relationships, our finances, and our work in the world. The purpose of Fabric is to help one another bring the strength, beauty, and resilience of a life deeply woven into all of those places. There are 3 things we do to help each other out:
Gather around a common conversation (check out our Podcast)
Invest in significant relationships (check out Fabric Groups)
Develop healthy personal practices
Beyond that, we seek to empower people to express their unique “shape” in creativity, compassion, and for justice in their circles and we try to help other organizations grow with us (and learn from our mistakes)!
In lieu of Fabric having specific mission partners, we encourage the people of Fabric to have a ministry within Fabric and a mission beyond it (M&M). With respect to a mission beyond Fabric, we aim to equip people to be Fabric in the world through volunteering, social justice activism, or other missions consistent with their values.
There is always work to be done. Some of it can stop and some of it still needs to happen. But you don’t always have to be the one carrying the pack of the work! This week, take stock
