We Believe …
We have too long been dominated by a discourse of “productivity” that excludes the contributions of women, ignores the relational component of all work, extracts every possible resource without thought of replenishment, and denies the simple fact that life rests upon attentive nurturing of future generations
It is time to convene around the deep, gnarly problems and “thresh” out new understandings and new actions.
It is time to privilege the voices of those who have been marginalized by or missing from the very systems that are crashing.
It is time to embrace emergent, multi-threaded life-stories and practices.
It is time to re-weave the work of care and creativity into our vision of the business of life.
It is time to do something about Time.
Our Team
Becca Motola-Barnes
Becca (she/her) is a queer Jewish 30-something living in San Francisco, where she works as a co-founder of the non-profit Hineinu Institue while studying for her MEd in Adult Learning and Global Change. She is recovering from a decade of working in People Operations in Silicon Valley, and is out to transform the way we value people’s time and labor in our culture. She expresses her creativity through cooking, sewing, and podcasting - check out her podcasts It’s About Time (a production of the Hineinu Institute) and InterTREKtional (a production of Federation and Fempire). She lives with her partner, her partner’s husband and their beautiful son.
Estee Solomon Gray
Estee (she/her) is a portrait in “multi”: an insister on multiple-identities, multi-minding, multi-time , and multi-threaded lives. With 40+ years in Silicon Valley and a parallel career building out the Bay Area’s Jewish learning ecosystem under her, she’s out to upend the way we conceive of, conduct and design for the business of life. She is multilingual, intermarried (American & Israeli), mother of millennial sons and grand-dog, and enjoying the family’s transition to a multi-nest configuration. She has degrees from Yale and Stanford, co-wrote the cover article of the first issue of Fast Company magazine, and sees immense opportunity - as well as peril - in this era of (or after) Pandemic.
