In order to generate content for an upcoming book about self-care, Gracy Obuchowicz interviewed Louise Green, community organizer and Unitarian Universalist minister. This booklet contains the text of that interview, plus an article published by Green in 2013, “Sustainable Action: Planting the Seeds of Relational Organizing.”

Both texts help us imagine what it might look like to ground our working and living in relationship: to others, to Source.

is about

Care-givers, justice-seekers, and community-builders often find ourselves in the thick of human experience. Yet so many of the texts we produce rely on the thin logic of Western medicine and mainstream social science! What might happen if we grounded more texts in the arts? In critical theories? In spirituality? In lived experience? What might happen if we paid more attention to medium, form, and design?

Enter Thick Press, a collaboration between a social worker (Erin Segal) and a designer (Julie Cho).

We aspire to a practice that is loving, reflexive, playful, and collaborative. We worry about reproducing oppressive structures, but we’re not really that interested in critique. Above all, we want to make unusual books with others.

Inspired by artists’ books and zines, Thick Press publishes books that cross genres and disciplines. All our books relate to working or living in the thick of human experience.
