-          In all of the user interviews we have conducted with local community leaders, similar feature requests around private groups have been made.  These requests describe a private communication and administrative tool to compliment and aid in the facillitation of real-world small groups (bipoc and qtpoc groups, women's and men's groups, an antiracist group, people returning from therapeutic retreats who need to stay in contact and integrate the retreat).  Hawthorn direction will pivot away from public communities with default user anonymity to these private, more intimate communities with a required user who may reveal details of their identity at their discretion.

-        <p className="text-center">
-          The pattern described by people in these user interviews is common to how small groups have organized historically for change work, such as the consciousness raising feminist groups in the 1960s, affinity groups, and communities of practice.

-        <p className="text-center">
-          With these requests and the nature of the groups in mind, we will be modeling this feature after the patterns identified in the article <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1vUHr_Q18GwJ8Lsp49J3gaIrOp3xi3Cv0PmHeSMPMlSQ/edit?usp=sharing">"What are Alchemy Pods?" by Adam Brock</a>.
