Virtual Chat
The pandemic of 2020 is illuminating our co-dependency and responsibility to each other. How is this true for you? In what ways have you noticed this co-dependency? What can we do now to prepare for that period? What have we learned or re-learned that can contribute to our individual and collective success, in class, at work, in community?
Join us in the first virtual session designed to explore these questions while strengthening our network of support for each other.

Thank you to Greenwich Academy and Gloria Fernández - Tearte for hosting our first Independent Trust event on June 8th!
“The first meeting of Independent Trust was extremely uplifting and motivating for me. I could feel the positive energy as I listened to the stories of other members and their reasons for participating in the group. It was electrifying! I'm glad I could be a part of something like this on the ground level and look forward to all the great things to come from it.”
