Janette Kim This book is a collection of strategies and instructions for creating connection and spaces of sharing and exchange. The book was to document knowledge gained following a co-hosted retreat by the authors in 2019, and discusses both physical and psychological ways to create togetherness. 

The book is a collaboration both in terms of co-creation as well as in perspectives and practice. In terms of my own practice, the book represents my perspective on constructing spaces of trust, collective authorship, and thresholds of engagement. This is knowledge gained through my work in community and collective work, public engagement strategies, and interaction design as I practice it.
