MIDWEEK June 2: David Coletta & Jen Higgins-

80 Ashford Street, Boston MA

Description

Register at: https://bhfh.org/midweek/ As the world changes quickly around us, it is unclear what the future of programming will look like, exactly. What we do know is that we have learned a lot about the value of both in-person gatherings (as we reflect on what we’ve missed) and online opportunities (for accessibility and connecting across geographic areas). As we move into the future of creating connections and being together, how can we learn from this year, and think creatively about engaging the future? In this MIDWEEK, we’ll explore some possibilities around hybrid programming, and invite audience members to think expansively and hold expectations lightly as we explore hybridity together. David is a dad, a retired software engineer, a singer, a runner, a sexuality educator in training, a member of a Quaker-inspired cooperative household in Arlington, Mass., an amateur cheesemaker, and the CTO of a cannabis startup, among other things. David is experimenting with “tech ministry” as a way to learn compassion and empathy in a context that is especially vital in this particular moment.
