All-day reception with food, drink, and kid-friendly space. With workshoppy discussions on who's in the space, who our current and potential partners are, and how you can plug in if you wish.
We aim to show abundance through cooperation and improve our individual and collective quality of life while we build a human-scaled neighborly economy - doing the work we really want to do, and providing what our communities really want and need.
