Boundaries with Heart-Navigating Compassion and Tending Self

Hello, Faculty Colleagues. Faculty Commons would like to invite you to a Zoom presentation about healthy boundaries on 3/13 from 12-1pm. We all need practice setting and respecting boundaries, especially in the middle of the school year, when we have to prioritize what’s important and stick to the commitments we make. If you have trouble deciding which things to say yes to (or feel guilty saying no), this session is for you!

Lashanna Williams is an intentional tender, a tender of people and spaces, a recovering corporate employee and avid learner. A mistake maker, community lover, consensual hugger, garden witch, and mother; a midwest-grown University of Michigan graduate, published author, artist, facilitator, and holder of heavy things. Creating space for belonging is at the core of their work, from teaching medical professionals to working with youth, from shrouding a community member to hand-grinding herbs for tea. Lashanna lives and works in the intersections of death, art, education, and love. As a member of multiple community and national boards, she gathers, guides, and supports efforts to remain purposeful, creative, sustainable, and free from the anti-Black patriarchal Western structures currently in place. Lashanna is a Scorpio, which means they were born an agent of change and has lived that life.

Lashanna’s flyer is attached, and you can send any questions to Cindy at cnover@ewu.edu. We look forward to (virtually) seeing you there!
