Seasonal Events
Come celebrate the seasons with us! We are hosting seasonal gatherings for free/ no cost.
Our time together is fairly informal and is focused on free play and relaxed time to socialize. There will be a seasonal activity such as nature-based crafting, community mandala making or story. We will gather for a short Circle.
Held in rain or shine. If weather is severe, such as high winds, we will cancel. RSVP required.

We are happy to welcome you!
If interested, register here.
After registration--and closer to the event--we will email you our physical address, what to bring and info on neighborhood driving and parking.
This event is held in a residential neighborhood. It is absolutely essential for the wellbeing of our neighbors that our driving and parking instructions are received and followed. Thank you.
We know life is an improv. If you decide to join us at the last minute, please email Taira by 8:30AM the morning of the gathering. On our end, space is limited; we need a head count. And if weather is stormy, we can let you know of alternative plans.
