Prepared by Julie Phelps and her CounterPulse, San Francisco team December session pointed to end of year as time for transformation, deep shifting, and death before rejuvenation. This very December looked back upon a year of immense death and looks forward with hope of immense transformation. Or rather, this December held the weight of a world mourning knowing that there is no other place to go other than through immense transformation.

December issue gave gratitude to the Black Lives Matter organizers pushing from every side to create a better present and future for Black people, the Indigeous peoples of Turtle Island calling for us all to relate differently to the land and our histories, and to the art makers and organizers for the broad imagination and practiced skill of rehearsing the previously unknown that we need to make a change we can feel.
