The Joy Chronicles

Jennifer Miller

Women, wonder, and the world. Where women gather, joy follows. I've spent years watching what happens when women really gather, not small talk, but the kind of circle where something true gets said and everyone leans in. This year, I'm following that thread around the world: through Europe, Asia, and the USA talking with women building community in communities, kitchens, and circles with no title, but hold everything. One question underneath it all: what are women building for each other when the world isn't watching? Come wander with me.
