About this Groundfloor Gathering

You may know Jeff Harry, a former Groundfloor Member who wore a LEGO Bow Tie. Did you know he gave a TEDx talk!? Well, he misses the Groundfloor Oakland energy and is coming back to host a watch party! Join us. Message from Jeff: Have you ever felt terrified to share something you’ve created? That is exactly how I felt about my TEDx Talk. When a friend suggested I host a watch party, I initially thought it was a terrible idea. However, I believe so deeply in the power of play to heal our communities that I realized my "nerv-cited" feelings were actually a sign to do it. So, I am taking a big leap and trying out this experiment that you can be a part of. I'm hosting a watch party for my talk, Beyond Hierarchy: How Play Can Heal The Division Between Us. This TEDx Talk explores how we reached this difficult point in history through cultures of hierarchy and patriarchy. More importantly, it highlights how our path back to humanity and empathy for one another is found through the simple act of play. If this message resonates with you, please join us on Thursday, April 2nd, at Groundfloor Oakland from 6 - 8 PM PST. We will be sharing our favorite childhood snacks, building community, and watching this 16 minute talk together. I truly hope to see you there. Cheers!
