Kitchen Table Community Offerings:

During the Winter season, we take an intentional hiatus beginning at the Winter Solstice and ending at the Spring Equinox. While on hiatus we spend time resting, daydreaming as a form of resistance, and planning for a sustainable future.

Community Call-In is a space we have designated to welcome in Spring. During the space in time that typically overlaps with Black History Month and Women’s History Month, we are holding intentional space to call in our community with love, to learn together and break down barriers to building community sovereignty and a sustainable future.

Please note: Discussions will not be recorded (audio or video). Please Fill out the form to RSVP to one or more events. RSVP for Spring Equinox Biochar Burn is on the same sign-up sheet BELOW.
