Starfire's 3-Day "Un"-conference

Jason Harris has contributed the following commentary for this event coming up in Cincinnati to support a more inclusive community.

Jason’s View: Starfire’s 3-Day

On August 26th to the 28th Starfire is going to have its “un”-conference in Madisonville in Cincinnati. This conference is a great way to get together with people in your community and learn and teach (if you want to lead) skills to people.

Starfire is a great organization that I myself know a couple people who work there and run it. They do impressive things to get people together by interest and not by labels. If you have a chance, I would highly recommend going.

Cincinnatians are invited to Starfire’s 3rd annual 3-Day, an “un”-conference where the participants set the agenda. The three days kick off with a blank schedule that gets filled in by guests who offer classes and presentations on a variety of topics. The event begins August 26th at 5pm and will be held at Starfire in Madisonville. Free dinner provided, and the event is kid-friendly. People are invited to come and go as they please.

Last year, over 250 people from around the city came to the event. Guest speakers like John Orr gave a crash course on mindfulness. Kim Popa taught people how to dance like no one is watching. Kathy Wenning talked about building an intentional community around her son with a disability. Starfire believes Cincinnati neighborhoods are stronger when everyone feels included.
