Write Now!
2026-09-12 10:00 - 12:00, 2026-09-19 10:00 - 12:00
Having trouble finding time to write? Join us this Saturday (and every Saturday) for an hour of writing! It’s our experience that writing in the company of other authors can be very useful. It also helps builds community and support. Whether working on a story, poem, memoir, script, song, dissertation, or just plain work stuff, we invite you to come.
No prompts, critiques, or unsolicited advice. What you write is completely confidential. Come late, leave early, whatever. no one will judge you. (Though there will be time for introductions before and socializing after the one hour of writing time… but this is optional.) BEING WITH OTHER WRITERS IS COOL.

Death Cafe
2026-09-12 12:00 - 13:30
Join us for an open, thoughtful, and supportive conversation about one of life’s biggest realities. The Death Café is a free community gathering with no set agenda—just a chance to share questions, stories, concerns, and hopes about death, dying, and planning for the future.
In today’s world, these conversations are often avoided, yet they touch every part of life: our bodies, belongings, legal matters, funerals, burials, and the memories we leave behind. The Café offers a safe and welcoming space to talk, listen, and connect with others on this journey. Many find that facing death openly with loved ones can lift a burden and make life feel even more vibrant and full.
Tea and baked goods are always served.
