love this: "So much of what we’re talking about is the process of reflecting on yourself and your embodied experience, noticing what comes up for you when you're in space with other people, and thinking about where else in your life you have experienced similar feelings (i.e. group projects in middle school, being friend-broken-up-with, etc). Then it’s going back to these spaces and paying enough attention to what’s happening that you are able to identify it and work on it. [...] So rather than a perfect step-by-step list for rebuilding civic life, I think about concepts like “endurance” and “resilience” and “curiosity” and “bias towards action.”
