Holy moly! Our trade post is tomorrow and we are so excited!

What can you expect?
⏰a rolling start time. Follow your children and family’s needs! The window of time will be fluid, so that means whenever you show up, is exactly when you needed to get there.
💅🏽Remember: we are trading and selling objects AND our skills/services. We want to know how we can put our money/invest in our people not in big corporations. Come ready to think expansively about the value you bring.
🌱You are responsible for your own set up and clean up. Since this a rolling start, don’t think too deeply about set up. Just bring your stuff and a good attitude!
🍔It’ll be prime lunch time so we are having a potluck picnic. Bring food to contribute if you can!
🧸You can expect communal toys and children’s activities. The majority of our circle members kiddos are between the ages of 4 months - 4 years!

Don’t forget to RSVP at the link in our bio! We can’t wait to see our familiar circle members faces and meet some new folx too. ❣️

Our trade post is this weekend on sat. May 2nd at 11 AM at @communityrootsoxnard

Got gently used baby, maternity, and post partum items you want to trade/sell while you meet other values aligned parents? Roll through! (Don’t have anything and just want to meet other parents and picnic? 🧺 hell ya, come on by).

This trade post is our way to decenter money as our primary currency. It’s also a way for us to get to know eachothers skills and services we could offer one another as we build the village we deserve.

You can expect: chill vibes, potluck picnic, and maybe even walking away with some new items for yourself or your littles that have been pre-loved and full of memories. 🌱

RSVP in the link in our bio so we get a sense of the number of people to expect! 🫶🏽

Today’s rain is washing our firey convo away today! We will reschedule this conversation soon :)

We had to switch it up before Aries season ends and because we felt some fire brewing among members of our circle that need to be given space to burn 🔥

So let’s let it BURN!

Join us this week for a convo on post partum RAGE!* Scream it out and maybe even hit a piñata with us as we dive into an emotion we often are not given the space to feel and express. Rage, and the anger behind it, often signals to us that there is injustice our body and mind are processing. And boy, with our country’s current healthcare system and lack of support for birthing people in America, do we know the feeling of injustice.

As per usual, you can expect a rolling start time, snacks under the elm tree, and intentional conversations. 🌱

*PLZ NOTE: While mothering is an action for all people regardless of gender and ability to birth, this week’s convo centers the hormonal shifts and very real rage specific to birthing people’s experiences!

If you’re interested in doing more of your own linocut at home you can use erasers and gravers just the same as special linocut tools!

Join us for our next two circles as we dive into food, culture, and pride. Our co-founder @jennelyn___ will share her very own “goodnight little spam” children’s zine she wrote and published with @theoxnardplain in 2019 and facilitate a discussion on themes discussed in the zine, such as the complicated, yet comforting, topic of survival foods and how we can raise our children with pride in the foods they’re raised with even if it isn’t catering to a white lens/palette.

For this two part convo we invite you to bring some food (or food stories) to share at our picnic that are important to you to carry on with your children!
