Care Kitchen is a limited series exploring advanced forms of the small group practice known as podding (also called crewing).
While prior knowlege is not required, this series is best suited to people who have had some experience with small group self-organising and are seeking to explore more deeply practices of mutual care and mutual aid.
Ep 4: The Future of Podding: Implications and Big Ideas
What could this practice of care pods mean for the wider world? What value could it generate across a variety of systems, in teams, movements and communities?
We expand on the impact we felt and experienced and speculate on the models’ wider implications and potential in a bubbly conversation that touches on mental health, wellbeing, complexity, systems change, the gig economy, new and old stories, diversity, self-determination and more!

Ep 3: Rituals & Practices to Enrich the Pod Experience
We explore what practices ‘made the difference’ in our pod’s valuable journey together. Some recipes we borrowed from others and we led a couple experiments of our own.
We look at what practices we would bring forward into other small groups and what practices of ours might work for other groups around the world. We also talk about rituals that served us in different ‘seasons’ of our pod and how our co-creation of collective artefacts and processes evolved over time as our Pod matured – and how to get resourced while doing it!

Ep 2: Organising Pod Retreats and Navigating Virtual & Real World Connection
One of the most important rhythms that sustained us as a Care Pod over an extended period of time was a commitment to gathering. In this episode we explore what retreats, both physical and virtual made possible for us as a pod and how it served our purpose.
We dive into how we made this work across multiple locations and timezones, how distributed roles in co-design and co-hosting, highlights and challenges and how we were inspired by other facilitators and experience designers in the art of gathering.

Ep 1: What is a Care Pod and Why Are They Taking Off?
What in the world is this thing called “care podding”?
By sharing our origin story, we explore the why in forming a care pod and our journey in this mutual support format over the past four years.
We talk about some of the rituals, rhythms and postures that we collectively honed in on and what really served our practice and purpose over a long period of time and made the experience so generative.
