The Held Together series takes a behind-the-scenes look at how I, Xander Peer Keller, have built, sustained, and been shaped by my CareWeb.
What Held Together is all About
• By launching this series, I am invoking intention and exploring what it is to nourish, build, and seed something that is evolving as I go – exposing or showing a behind the scenes look of what has been built.
• We are inviting you into real, behind the scenes, intimate conversations with the people who make up my CareWeb.
What Is a CareWeb?
• Care is often seen as one-sided, while real support is more robust and more complex.
• My life is woven with relationships—both disabled and non-disabled—that hold me up, challenge assumptions, reshape ideas of care, and create something richer than traditional ideas of support allow.
• A place to reveal needs and work together through the daily negotiations, joys, and complexities of interdependence.
What to Expect
• Honest, behind-the-scenes conversations about the daily realities of interdependence.
• Personal storytelling that bring the unseen dynamics of care to life.
• A deeper look at how we shape and sustain each other—beyond traditional ideas of support.
• Each event will blend conversation with storytelling performances, where I share personal stories that bring these unseen dynamics to life. Held Together isn’t just about care—it’s about the deep, reciprocal ways we shape and sustain each other.
