Deeper Change Events
CEIO's Deeper Change events create spaces that invite fundamental transformation. A change that is so deep that a return to the previous conditions is utterly inconceivable. Courageous conversations - grounded in peace, justice, and love.
Deeper Change Forums -- and our newest offering, Deeper Change Salons -- host speakers, artists and workshops to address and move us toward systemic change throughout our society, with an emphasis on New Haven. Events allow community members to hear from and learn with each other and with featured presenters who are working at root levels of for change. Topics have ranged from environmental justice to wellbeing, organizing to art as disrupting injustice.
Deeper Change Salons are evening gatherings that will center and bring in various wisdom from all of us as we are in the practice of creating the worlds we want to live in. We are excited to create this space as a structured ritual and gathering space to engage in ideas, inspirations, and connection. These will be in addition to our full day Deeper Change Forums.
Deeper Change Forums and Deeper Change Salons are open to all and offered freely. Registration is required for all events.

Mia Birdsong is rewriting what it means to get free. Blending scholarship, journalism, and cultural meaning-making, she does critical work to reconnect us with forgotten wisdom and train our attention on the ideas and practices we need to live in the world we know is possible. With her eyes on the future, Mia has spent decades interrogating false ideas and proposing new visions of who and how we can be with each other.
Author of How We Show Up and founding Executive Director of Next River, a think tank and culture change lab for interconnected freedom, Mia’s curiosity is contagious. Her research and writing, like the recent Freedom’s Revival: Research from the Headwaters of Liberation, redefine how we understand fundamental ideas like “freedom” and “community” and demand that we refocus our attention on the beauty and brilliance beyond the status quo.
Mia puts the perspective of people experiencing oppression at the center of her work and reshapes our collective understanding of what’s true, whether in her podcast series More Than Enough to her TED talk on The Story We Tell About Poverty Isn’t True or her previous role as co-executive director of Family Story.
Mia is rooting for everybody with a perspective deeply rooted in Black feminism, abolition, and disability justice. Mia is a Senior Fellow of the Economic Security Project and a Future Good Fellow at Institute For the Future. She was an inaugural Ascend Fellow of The Aspen Institute, and a New American California Fellow.
