Weaving Community - DChitt LLC

Weaving Community brings people together to learn and engage. Utilizing established thinking routines to invite powerful conversations, participants use the practice of weaving as an entrypoint to growing community and relationships.

Thinking Routines, developed by Harvard’s Project Zero, help make thinking visible. They provide people a way of organizing questions and curiosity in ways that move thinking forward.

Weaving, along with all hand making, shifts us into what Ursula K. Le Guin calls “handmind.”

She writes, “Nothing we do is better than the work of handmind. When mind uses itself without the hands it runs the circle and may go too fast; even speech using the voice only may go too fast. The hand that shapes the mind into clay or written word slows thought to the gait of things and lets it be subject to accident and time.”

Weaving Community, a project of Darren Chittick at DChitt LLC, exists to draw people into making and into connection, weaving community along the way.
