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.

There are four different ways we gather. Each has its own entry way into this work. All of them are about changing at the roots, practicing the world we want to live in, and deep connection with one another. Every event is freely offered with food to share. RSVPs are required.
 

Deeper Change Forums are deep dives into the work of practitioners, artists, change-makers, and scholars from near and far who address and move us toward systemic change throughout our society. Topics have ranged from environmental justice to wellbeing, organizing to art as disrupting injustice. Past speakers have included Mia Birdsong, Dr. Joy DeGruy, Leah and Naima Penniman, Bread & Puppet Theater, and Winona LaDuke. 

Deeper Change Salons are a gathering space to engage in ideas, inspirations, and connections that highlight and celebrate the practices of change-makers in the New Haven area..  Past Salons have featured Paul Bryant Hudson, Farron Harvey, Eric Rey, Deloris Vaughn, and biz nearing. Upcoming 2025 salons feature Trey Moore and Thema Haida.

 

             Deeper Change Practice: Sacred Reading: This is a monthly place for contemplation, meditation, reflection, and presence. Each event will center on a single poem or text with no pre-reading required. We’ll spend time with the works of authors like Audre Lorde, Ross Gay, Naomi Shihab Nye,  John O’Donohue, Kai Cheng Thom and more.


 


 

 

Run by our Seeding Conscious Co-Creation team, these are regular gatherings knitting together threads of community, care, creativity and conscious co-creation. Meetup with other local facilitators, artists, healers, cultural producers and organizers. Attend workshops, co-work, receive care, make some art, stretch and eat some yummy food.

Deeper Change events & Fabric gatherings are open to all and offered freely. Registration is required.
