Accessibility =Tikkun Olam (Repair of the World)
Part of JeWitch Collective’s mission is that we are rooted in diversity and committed to building inclusive community. This is about continually attending to an analysis of power, tikkun olam (repair of the world), being welcoming, practicing loving-kindness and compassion.
We strive to hold our events and meetings in wheelchair accessible venues and are working towards having ASL interpretation at more events.
Why Be Fragrance Free:
An increasing number of people in our community are harmed by a variety of common chemicals and fragrances — due to allergies, asthma or other chemical sensitivity, they may have difficulty breathing, migraine headaches, flu-like symptoms and more. When we come to an event having used products on our bodies or clothing that include fragrances or chemicals, those who are allergic or sensitive are faced with the choice to stay and get sick or leave and be excluded.
We request the you attend our events fragrance free (including laundry, hair, and body products) so everyone can participate. This helps make our community accessible to all. JeWitch Collective appreciates the resources and info that East Bay Meditation Center provides about this issue. To find out more including how to do it, a list of personal products, and online retailers of those products. It's simple, but not as obvious as you might think.
