Presenting the extended Grok Nation team (plus or minus a few)
Grok Nation has been live for two years now, and our team has grown; we all work different hours, in several different locations (East and West coast!). We have never before attempted a staff get-together like this, trying to gather all the team members for some visioning and fun-time getting to know each other better. And while sadly two team members couldn’t make it because they were on vacation, a core group gathered for delving into Grok Nation content, discussion of the site’s future, and dining on incredible vegan food made by Mayim and others.
Here’s your inside look at our team retreat! Thanks for being part of our journey!

This is Melissa. Or rather, Melissa’s proxy view as we Skyped her in from NY.
We made a crest for GN, proclaiming values that we hold and aspirations that we have and are working toward.

The sunset on Friday meant the start of Jewish sabbath
Havdalah, the Jewish ritual that ends Shabbat and welcomes a new week.
Sunday morning breakfast: many breads (including pretzel challah and bialys with Bialik), plus a big plate of vegan bacon.
We played Dungeons and Dragons as a group activity; most of us had never played before.
