Many of us working for change have absorbed the very culture we're trying to transform. We measure our worth in output. We treat rest as something to earn. We run our projects - and ourselves - on scarcity and urgency, even when we know better.

This salon asks: what would it mean to actually stop?

Not as a personal productivity hack, but as a political practice. What gets composted when we let go of extraction logic in our own work? What becomes possible?

The Scintilla Salons are monthly gatherings for changemakers thinking at the edges; spaces to slow down, think together, and build the kind of community that sustains long-haul work. This month's conversation connects to Getting Free, a four-week program starting in April, and stands alone whether or not you join it.

This isn't a lecture. We'll open with a brief frame, then move into small group conversation. You'll leave with fresh perspective and meet others asking the same questions.
