SUMMARY:Winter Solstice Writers' Salon
DESCRIPTION:In December\, The Writers’ Salon meets on the winter solstice to explore routines\, rituals and practices. This event may be of particular interest to folks who struggle to build routines\, or those who find themselves resistant to demands (even those we put upon ourselves.) We’ll discuss commonly shared advice about building a writing practice\, reflect on our own experiences\, and explore if routine or ritual may be a kinder fit. There will be time for creation\, connection and shame-free sharing. Beginners and aspiring writers are welcome. \n\n\n\nThe Writers’ Salon offers a space for writers to connect\, share and build community. The Salon is open to writers ages 18+\, of all backgrounds\, genres and experience levels. It is hosted by Meg\, a neuroqueer writer\, artist and creative care practitioner. You can learn more about the Grove\, including location\, transportation and accessibility info here. Masks (K95 or higher) are required to attend\, and must be worn at all times. Masks will be provided for folks who are unable to bring their own.

SUMMARY:Solstice Chill - Homo Phono Listening Party & Games Night
DESCRIPTION:Solstice Chill – Listening party & games night! We’re back with our pals at the Grove to bring you something a bit more laid-back as we move into winter. Expect low decibel Afrohouse/beats\, funk & RnB. We’ll provide some games – feel free to bring your own!We’re excited to have Kaytlyn Nadjiwon (@softbutsturdy) with us to bring in the solstice! While Kaytlyn is not a self-described tarot reader or expert\, she’s long worked with tarot and oracle decks\, energy\, and channelling in her personal practice. She was inspired by the Anchored deck for healing by Margeaux Feldman of @softcore_trauma to open that energy work to the community more broadly. She’s generously offered to share space with us on the solstice so we can think about our intentions for the winter months. Readings are by donation to Indigenous youth organization\, @assembly7generations (cash\, e-transfer suggested donation is sliding scale\, $5 – 25). Readings are on a first come basis and there will be a sign-up sheet when you arrive. Accepting donations for A7G without readings as well!Bar with non-alcoholic drinks including beer\, cocktails\, seltzers and more\, please enjoy outside.This is a covid-safer event! We don’t have a lot of spots for the covid cautious community so we’re prioritizing safety\, access\, and community at this event:N95 or equivalent are required indoors and optional outdoors. Some masks (overhead straps) will be available at the door. Three air purifiers will be running. We monitor CO2 throughout the night and will announce if the monitors reach 1500. With a lot of people in a small space\, this can happen\, but the readings go down quickly once we open the door for a bit. \n\n\n\nA few tickets are available at the door on a first come basis. Sliding scale – $5-20 (cash only at the door) \n\n\n\nAccessibility Notes from The Grove \n\n\n\nWe have a ramped entrance (33.5 in wide) and a ramp for the backdoor entrances. \n\n\n\nOur space total sq is 800 sq/ft but the main studio portion is 350 sq/ft. That fits about 40 folks standing and 25 seated. \n\n\n\nWe have two bathrooms with door measurements 26 and 28 inches wide. \n\n\n\nFor seating\, we have several options – White folding chairs (max 225lbs /102 kg static) Blue stacking chairs ( max 660lbs / 299.3 kg static) Brown couch (max 700lbs/317.5 kg static) Rustic brown stools (max 264.5lbs/ 120 kg static)
