At Grounded, we strive to contribute to a better and more just society. We acknowledge that we live in a world in which inequality and discriminatory and violent behavior are deeply rooted - and our community is not exempt from these dynamics. That is why, at Grounded, we have an Awareness Circle in place, and we commit to creating a safer and more welcoming and comfortable space for everyone. Our Awareness Circle has made it its goal to facilitate collective reflection and dialogue, and to challenge social structures of dominance and oppression by sharing information, promoting desirable behavior, and providing support.
At all our parties, we work with an Awareness concept to help affected persons, and throughout the year, we host different Awareness events and workshops - for instance on privilege, consent or (eco)feminism - to facilitate awareness and empathy. The highlight is our annual International Women’s Day event where we celebrate and give the center stage to FLINTAs (Female, Lesbian, Intersex, Non-binary, Agender, and other marginalized gender identities and sexualities) and their stories and contributions.
