When you repair a hole in an old piece of clothing, you have to explore the cloth around the hole until you find fabric solid enough to hold your patch. If you sew too close to the hole, the fabric will be weak, and you’ll just make a larger hole. But if you’re patient, and learn the territory, you can make the fabric stronger than it was before.

This is true of cultures too.
And communities.
And families.
And selves.

Join me the first Saturday of the month to discuss mending.
Bring a physical item that you want to mend, a question, your expertise, your beautiful self.
Come to talk, to work, or to listen.

Let’s talk about mending: mending torn shirts and missing buttons, mending old hurts, relationships, maybe even mending this aching world.

Theme: Quiet Strength at the Turning Point

We’ve been coming together each month to pause, breathe, and reconnect with what matters. As the solstice nears, this June gathering invites us into deeper reflection—a moment to honor the light and tend to our inner steadiness.

We’ll begin with a grounding meditation, then move gently into reflective prompts and quiet sharing. In a world that continues to shift, this is a space to return to your center—and to the quiet strength of community.

Bring your journal, a candle, or simply your open heart. Let’s mark this turning point with care, together.

Join us for the monthly Show+Tell event with Meredith “Mere” Morckel where you can share what you’ve created and discuss creativity! We invite you to show off any form of your imperfect and unpolished art: your writing, painting, clothing, photography, sandcastle, and more! Expect affirmation, encouragement, and support from your fellow members.

After that we’ll enjoy a discussion together, answering questions such as:

What do you find most healing about the act of creation?

What is life asking you to create and/or heal?

How important is creativity?

We look forward to celebrating the diverse and beautiful ways you express yourself!

Sometimes the simplest things—like sitting quietly with a good book—can feel like a real gift.

This gathering is just that: a gentle pause in the rush of life.

Bring something you’ve been wanting to read. We’ll begin with a short check-in and guided visualization to help us settle in, then enjoy 45 minutes of quiet reading together.

Afterward, you’re welcome to share a thought or just stay in that peaceful space.

Just you, your book, and a bit of stillness. You’re warmly invited.
