Women of MFU June Zoom gathering
June 17 @ 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm
What: The Matriarchal Hour
Who: Farmers Union women members. This gathering is gender-inclusive – trans and nonbinary participants are welcome to attend.
Date: Every third Monday (June 17)
Time: 2-3 p.m.
More information: In a recent gathering of the Women’s Programming Planning Committee, a shared sentiment emerged: the need for an informal space where women can come together to foster camaraderie and meaningful connections. Recognizing the profound sense of community within Farmers Union, members highlighted the importance of combatting the isolation often felt in rural Minnesota by intentionally setting aside time to connect with one another.
Our aim is to establish a standing monthly Zoom call inspired by Extension Study Clubs. Each session will feature a designated facilitator who will introduce a topic of personal interest or expertise, offering insights for no more than 10 minutes to spark discussion. Following the presentation, ample time will be allotted for open discussion, fostering a deeper understanding of one another’s backgrounds, professions, experiences and perspectives.
Our discussions will revolve around themes central to agriculture, food, gender and equity, reflecting our shared values and interests. Through this initiative, we aspire to not only broaden our knowledge but also strengthen our bonds as a community.
We invite you to join us. Your presence and participation would enrich our discussions and help us build a vibrant community where ideas are shared, connections are forged, and friendships are nurtured. Together, let’s create a space where women in agriculture can thrive and support each other.
