🌙 Why This Gathering Matters
Community is medicine. Creativity is regulation. Joy is resilience. In times of uncertainty, we gather not to solve everything, but to remember we are not alone.
You’re welcome to:
Share or sit quietly
Paint or simply breathe
Reflect or just be
This is a space for honest reflection, shared humanity, and creative integration.
✨ Donation-Based
This gathering is donation-based to keep the space accessible while honoring the time, labor, and artistry of the facilitators. This event is by voluntary donation and there is no obligation to donate. Come as you are. Your presence is enough. 💛
