6.02: Outside Conversations with Chris Corrigan + Caitlin Frost - On the reciprocity of community

Tuesday and Tim are joined by long-time friends and colleagues, Chris Corrigan & Caitlin Frost, where they help us kick off our first series of the pod on Changing Community. Chris and Caitlin share stories of what community means to them, the idea of “claiming and being claimed,” creating the container, boundaries, and reciprocity. What a delicious way to start!
