Peer Groups

It can be difficult to process all of the rapidfire changes in the international system right now. That's why we developed a structured but informal space for peers to discuss and process in real-time. 

Our peer groups:

• are small groups of 5-6 people each,

• meet weekly online at the time that works best for the majority,

• repeated weekly for a two-month duration,

• and lightly facilitated by a volunteer facilitator.

Rather than having large meetings in which people come and go, peer groups can support individuals through transitions in a smaller container of trust. To build that trust, we ask that peer group participants commit to the group for the full two months. (We, of course, understand that there may be a specific day or week that won't work!)

Two groups met from March-May 2025. We're open to starting a next iteration of peer groups, based on the interest that we receive.

How can you join a peer group?

If you'd like to sign up for a peer group, please email ourstopgap@gmail.com with (1) your name, and (2) a few sentences about why you are interested in participating in a peer group. Feel free to be in touch with any questions, concerns, or ideas.
