otherWisdom Circles
Regular open gatherings where we learn, reckon, and reweave together at the edge of change. otherWisdom Circles are the pulse of and portal to otherWise.Â
We meet online and in place to share questions, stories, and seasonal rhythms. Here, we welcome complexity, hold space for grief and grounded hope, and practice moving with generative uncertainty. Not to save the world, but to savor and stay true to it—and to each other.

Provisioning
August – September 2025
Provisioning invites us to engage long-storied and ongoing practices of preparing for what’s to come by tending to what we have now. In the presence of perishable plenty and beneath the glow of the Harvest Moon, we ask: What will we keep, share, store, or transform? This cycle explores how we sort the literal and metaphorical abundance of our lives, making choices about what to preserve, what to offer, and how to carry it forward. We’ll reflect on practical skills like storing food, sharing surplus, and crafting the right containers, while also honoring the deeper discernments around generosity, sufficiency, and what it takes to provision for collective care and entangled liberation.
otherWisdom Circles are regular, lightly structured spaces where we gather to reckon, to reweave, and to remember what it means to be learners together at the end of an era.
In a time when many conversations collapse into performance or polarization, our Circles offer something rarer: patient, porous spaces where complexity can breathe, where relationships matter more than rightness, and where curiosity leads the way.
About
In these spaces, we learn from each other across different stages of transition—experiencing firsthand the fits, starts, failures, bends and breakthroughs of moving beyond dominant systems.
otherWisdom Circles give you a chance to attune to the cycles of the moon. In an effort to inhabit other-than colonized time, we select themes to loosely align with the named Moon (in the Northern Hemisphere). Online otherWisdom circles are open to newcomers.
We meet three times each lunar cycle—during the waxing, fullness, and waning of the moon—to move with seasonal and personal rhythms.
In addition to our online gatherings, we host in-person Circles in places where clusters of participants are experimenting with land-based, communally rooted ways of living—including the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont, Western North Carolina, and County Galway, Ireland.
