🌿 The Compassion Collective: A Living Update (June 2025)
It’s been almost two years since The Compassion Collective came to life in August 2023 — and what a journey it’s been.
We’ve grown into a vibrant, values-rooted space for healing, co-creation, neurodivergent empowerment, and collective visioning. If you're new or haven’t checked in for a while, here's a fresh look at what's happening — and how you can be part of it.
💬 Weekly Support Circles (Zoom links included)
Our three weekly support meetings are the heartbeat of our community. These spaces are open, mutual, and always held with care.
📅 Tuesdays @ 3pm PST – Awakening to Autism (for fem-identifying folks)
A space for discovery, validation, and community among fem-identifying people exploring or living with autism.

🌀 Community Check-In: Shared Agreements Review & Reflection
As we evolve, so should our shared values.
We’re now revisiting the Shared Agreements that guide how we move, relate, and make decisions together. This is a collective review — your voice matters.
💫 Read the working draft + share your reflections:
🔗 Shared Agreements Review & Reflection
Take a moment to read the agreements and tell us what’s working — and what wants to grow.
📚 Proposal: WildMind Publishing
We’re thrilled to share a proposal to launch WildMind Publishing — a publishing imprint of The Compassion Collective that will amplify visionary voices from the edges and uplift work rooted in neurodivergence, trauma healing, peacebuilding, and system visioning.
📝 WildMind will:
Begin with works by founding members (books, zines, curricula)
Build peer-led editorial and publishing circles
Offer decolonized, accessible publishing paths for our co-op members
Integrate regenerative principles into how we share and shape knowledge
If you're interested in publishing your work, editing, or shaping the culture of WildMind Publishing — you're invited to co-create this with us.
🎓 A Personal Note from Sher
This August, I’ll be graduating with my Master’s in Transformative Social Change — and I truly could not have done it without the Compassion Collective.
This community has been my ground and my inspiration. As part of my thesis project, I’ll be publishing a book called:
🧠 Cognitive Ecology: Mapping Your Mind for Self-Understanding
This book introduces a framework for making sense of giftedness, autism, ADHD, and trauma through a relational and regenerative lens. It will be the first title published under WildMind Publishing.
If you’d like to pre-order the book and support the vision, you can do that here:
💖 Pre-Order + Support on Ko-fi
Every pre-order directly funds the book and the launch of WildMind Publishing’s liberatory publishing model.
