SIconnect Live Events

SI Discussion Groups are 90 minute interactive online video conferences created for us to talk about the work. The groups are facilitated by our founder, Liz Stewart and often have guest participants who are key figures in our community. The format was developed to engage the practitioners in interesting conversation with each other. Every call is based on a different topic and a pre-recorded audio or video file may be included to promote or clarify the subject. These groups create a space to come together; share our thoughts and feelings about our work and find out what’s happening in the field. Space is limited to promote shared talking time.

Instead, we must strive for balance and Edit-Proofread eat a variety of foods that combine such dietary components to form healthy meals.
