otherWise is a cosmolocal learning community.
We offer small, place-rooted gatherings and deep, slow virtual inquiry. Together, we practice shared rituals and commons-sense.
Engage
otherWise offers regular otherWisdom Circles: community conversations to reckon, reconsider, and reveal wisdom. We also curate learning experiences on a wide range of topics, from gardening and motherhood to grief work and care and creativity at the margins.
