Current Programming
(all offered for free)
Brunch and Baskets: BIPOC folx come together twice a month to share a meal and learn, commune, and practice basket weaving in community. Indigenous tribal master weavers offer guest facilitation, and participants work with the fibers of this region and learn weaving techniques from local Tribal traditions.
∞
Community Performances: Free community-led dance, music, poetry, and theater performances that create low-barrier opportunities for BIPOC artists and cultural workers to share work-in-progress, experiment, and gather audiences in an intimate, supportive setting. These performances prioritize accessibility, relationship-building, and cultural exchange
∞
Music Jams: Co-hosted by Ariele Altman, Heauxm (sounds like home) is a community jam session—a laid-back space where music, creativity, and good people come together. Heauxm centers queer and trans people of color, and no experience is required.
∞
Wellness classes and Workshops: Examples include sound healing ceremonies, somatic breathwork, land-based somatic therapy, and Qi Gong.
∞
Weaving Liberated Futures: A monthly study, meal, art-exchange and conversation group for Indigenous and Black artists and cultural workers.
