virtual care lab began as a project responding to our need for remote togetherness and community early in 2020, amidst the pandemic. Since then, through our dozens of unconventional gatherings, portals for asynchronous presence, weekly Lab Hours, movie nights, research groups, book clubs, and countless Discord exchanges, we have surfaced many deeper inquiries about care in digital commoning and creative experimentation. As our world continues to transform through 2021 and beyond, how should virtual care lab persist as a meeting place for what is most resonant and necessary moving forward?

As your co-founders, Sara and Alice would like to invite a period of collective fermentation. For the next two months, we’ll pause on new gatherings, learn from what has surfaced so far, and plant seeds for a new season as virtual care lab.

Join us in this collaborative process every other Sunday at 2pm Pacific on Zoom. Everyone with a brave curiosity in community and trust building is welcome -- you do not have to be an existing active participant in virtual care lab to contribute.
