ACCESSIBILITY NOTES:
THIS IS AN ADA-ACCESSIBLE SPACE with ALL-GENDER BATHROOMS. THIS IS A SCENT-REDUCED SPACE - we make every attempt to be chemical-free and ask that everyone make a sincere effort with us so that more of our community members can healthfully join us. There is not an ASL interpreter.

WE TRY TO LIVESTREAM as much of this healing share circle (open mic) as possible (with the expressed permission per each sharer) to allow folks who cannot join us in person - the opportunity to access us online.
