New Fables Collective

New Fables is a collective of dreamers, deep thinkers and change makers, working across a wide range of industries, sectors and disciplines.

Over the next two years, we will come together to host a reflective, restorative and regenerative space to explore our collective experiences, energies and intuition as racially-minoritised people. Through this, we hope to channel our experiences to envision new ways of being that can be passed onto future generations.

We orientate towards three objectives:

Collective being

Holding space for care, being critical friends and feeding into our collective wisdom, experience and perspectives, deepening connections, building trust and togetherness.

Collective sense-making

Exploring what we see, think and feel, and reflecting on our practice, learning and strengths we embody. Surfacing synergies together and delving into questions.

Collective envisioning

Co-creating ideas, exploring ways of being and envisioning futures together. Driven by our hopes, immersed in our shared energy, and led by our intuition.

We look forward to sharing our stories with you on our blog, The Fireplace.

Instructions

Duplicate this template to your Notion workspace
Create a site using Super, using your newly created page as the Notion URL.
Set up your fonts and add the code to your Super settings:

‣

Fonts

The fonts used in the template are: PS Fournier: Light Reason New: Regular and Medium You’ll need to add these fonts to a new web project in your Adobe Typekit account and paste the Unique ID into the code below.

If you don’t have a Typekit account you can rely on the chosen Google Webfonts as a fallback instead. They’re a pretty good match, here’s the difference:

‣

Using your own font choices

If you want to change the fonts you’ll need to add custom overrides in the CSS editor. You can see the original CSS at the following link: https://iamsamsmall.github.io/cy/style.css

/* Here are the font stacks in the code. Search for them so you know which lines to override in your customisations. */
font-family: reason-new, 'Work Sans', sans-serif !important;
font-family: psfournier-std, 'Nanum Myeongjo', serif !important;

4. Make sure you’ve done these things before you go live

‣

Go live checklist

Change all links in the footer database

Check the favicon, update if necessary in the snippet code

Amend the meta description in the snippet code

Update the share image in the snippet code

Check that the Show or hide page properties option in Super settings is set to ‘Show’

Check that all navigation labels and links are correct and that they point to the right pages. Note, they do not automatically update when you amend page names or add new pages.

Add pretty links for your pages, projects, and articles into Super’s pretty URL settings. By default you’ll need to use projects/ and writing/, you can amend these if you want but you’ll need to add CSS overrides.
