Join a coMMUNITY GROUP
Community groups typically gather in the spring and fall. There are two kinds of Community Groups at OSC: Collective Tables and Learning Groups. Collective Tables are small gatherings, usually in homes but sometimes in pubs or coffee shops. The Collective Table Podcast is our dialogue starter for these groups. Learning Groups gather to learn about specific issues, topics, or practices. The purpose is to dig deeper.
