edgeWork is a slow, relational practice of being with the edges of ourselves, our communities and the systems we live within.
It invites inquiry, creativity, and care as ways of navigating change, tending to what’s emerging, and imagining other ways of being together.
The Practice and the People
edgeWork takes shape through collective learning circles, conversation, and reflections. Together, we explore care and creativity as ways of making, relating, resisting, and reimagining.
This practice centers those whole lives, work, and wisdom emerge from the margins. This includes, but is not limited to practitioners, educators, artists, and community builders from the Global South, and Black, Indigenous, and disaporic communities across the world. In this space, we learn from the traditions and creative lineages that have always understood care as resistance and renewal.
What’s Emerging
We’re slowing down to deepen our roots.
Right now, edgeWork lives as a growing community of practice and inquiry.
We’re gathering in our Hylo space to reflect, share and experiment with how care and creativity move through our work and daily lives.
From this community our offerings continue to evolve. Beginning with care explores care as the ground work for creative and relational life. Care + Creativity at the Margins
In the months ahead, we’ll continue nurturing the Hylo community by sharing creative prompts, collective reflections, and small experiments in care.
We hope you’ll join us, wherever you are.

In this session, we will explore how edges, whether ecological, emotional, cultural or systemic, serve as fertile sites of imagination and change. Rather than seeing the edge merely as a site of rupture or precarity, we’ll consider it as a space where new questions, relationships, and ways of knowing become possible. Through shared reflection and dialogue, and collective meaning-making, we will explore how care shapes our creative processes and how creativity expands our capacity to care. Read more

2:30 pm
ET
In this session, we will explore Roles for reWorlding, a framework developed within otherWise to help communities name, value, and practice the diverse orientations that make collective change and transformation possible. Instead of centering productivity or conventional leadership, this framework honors the often overlooked capacities that sustain collective life: from knowledge carriers, healers, and pattern-workers, to menders, protectors, builders, and subverters.
