The Year-Round Gathering

YFE
Community

A governed, practitioner-led space for the ongoing work of liberation. Built for depth, not volume. For those who are inside the work — not watching it from the outside.

What This Is

A community
for the work,
not the title.

The YFE Community exists for practitioners who are inside difficult work — inside systems, organisations, movements, and communities they are trying to change. It is not a network for visibility. It is a governed space for depth, honesty, and ongoing thinking between people who are actually doing the work.

Membership is governed, not open. The space is maintained so that it remains useful for the people it was built for.

A platform for networking and visibility
A governed space for practitioners doing the work
Optimised for follower growth or engagement metrics
Optimised for depth, honesty, and long-term connection
Open by default to anyone who registers
Governed and discerning about who it is for
Driven by urgency and constant output
Structured by rhythm, rest, and sustainable participation
Separate from the broader YFE ecosystem
Connected to the Forum, Magazine, and Collective

Community Life

What happens inside.

Wednesday Wellness Calls
Weekly · 45 min · Wednesdays

Open to all. A grounded, facilitated space to check in, breathe, and connect — not a webinar. Just practitioners thinking and being together.

Seeker
Skill-Building Workshops
Monthly · 90 min · Hands-on

Practical, focused sessions built around one skill or tool. You leave with something you can use. Every session is recorded and added to the library.

Artisan+
Forum Circles
Monthly · Small groups of 8–12

Curated small-group sessions around a specific question or challenge. Groups are intentionally composed. What is said in the Circle stays in the Circle.

Practitioner+
Accountability Circles
Bi-weekly · Peer-led · Structured

Small peer groups that meet regularly to hold each other accountable to their learning and creative goals. Not a mastermind. A mutual commitment.

Artisan+
Monthly 1:1 Coaching
Monthly · 45 min · Private

A dedicated session with a YFE coach. Not advice. A thinking partnership that helps you move through what is stuck or unclear in your work.

Luminary
Community Forum and Newsletter
Ongoing · Curated · Human

Async discussion threads and a bi-weekly newsletter curated by real people from what members are actually sharing — not an algorithm, not a feed.

What people find here

YFE Practitioner

The Forum Circles are unlike any professional gathering I have been part of. The expectation that everyone has actually done the work — and that there is space to say what is genuinely hard — changed something for me.

AN
Adaeze N.Organisational Development Lead · Lagos
YFE Artisan

The skill-building workshops alone are worth it. But it is the accountability circle that changed my practice. Having peers who take your work seriously — and say so honestly — is irreplaceable.

MH
Marcus H.Creative Practitioner · London
YFE Luminary

The 1:1 coaching and the in-person gatherings are what I did not know I needed. The space is honest without being harsh. That is rare. I renewed without hesitation.
