Terms of Service

Last updated: July 2026

Welcome to Culture of Convening, a publication by Carmen Berkley Anderson and Gregory Allan Datu Cendana. By subscribing to, accessing, or engaging with our content, you agree to the following terms.

What This Publication Is

Culture of Convening is an independent publication hosted on Substack. We share frameworks, tools, personal essays, and perspectives on the art and practice of convening. Our content reflects our own lived experiences, professional insights, and ongoing learning. It is intended to be informative and thought-provoking, not prescriptive legal, organizational, or professional advice.

Your Subscription

Culture of Convening currently offers free subscriptions. We may introduce paid subscription tiers in the future. If and when we do, any paid features, pricing, and terms will be clearly communicated before you are asked to pay. You may unsubscribe at any time using the link at the bottom of any email or through your Substack account settings.

Our Content

All content published on Culture of Convening, including articles, videos, images, frameworks, and original language, is the intellectual property of Carmen Berkley Anderson and Gregory Allan Datu Cendana unless otherwise noted. You are welcome to share our work by forwarding emails, sharing links, and quoting brief excerpts with attribution. Please do not reproduce full articles, frameworks, or original concepts without our written permission.

Your Engagement

We welcome comments, discussion, and engagement with our work. We ask that all interactions reflect the values this publication stands for: respect for different identities, experiences, and perspectives. We reserve the right to remove comments or block accounts that are harmful, harassing, discriminatory, or spam.

Third-Party Platforms

Culture of Convening is hosted on Substack and also maintains a presence on Instagram, LinkedIn, and other platforms. Each of these platforms has its own terms of service and privacy policies. We encourage you to review those separately. Our use of these platforms does not mean we endorse or are responsible for their policies or practices.

Substack’s Terms

Because Culture of Convening is hosted on Substack, your use of this publication is also governed by Substack’s own Terms of Use and Privacy Policy. You can review those at substack.com/tos and substack.com/privacy.

Changes to These Terms

We may update these terms from time to time, particularly as the publication grows and evolves. If we make significant changes, we will note the updated date at the top of this page. Continued use of the publication after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of those changes.

Questions

If you have questions about these terms, you can reach us at contact@cultureofconvening.com or through the Substack messaging feature.
