Note to the community: After considering the community feedback regarding the cancellation of the Mendocino Magic Recess, we have decided to support a Recess Community Campout event in California the same weekend originally planned. The Campout will be organized by some Recess organizers with the support of community members: Agata Stucka and Rocky Taylor. This event hopes to provide a space for important dialogue and growth for us as a community. It also will provide the typical celebratory dance and community space that we all love about Recess!!
To see a public statement by Recess Organizers as well as answered questions regarding the current recess conflict, you see that here: Public Statement And Q&A
Recess has always been much more than the sum of its organizers. Our hope is that this community event will help provide a space for important reflection, lessons, and visioning for what Recess has-been, is, and will become. If you are able, we ask that you join us in this important community work. For those wishing to be a part of the conversation, but who can’t make it feel free to leave comments for Recess on this form.
