Unplugged silent "cafe"

​Come for a Sunday morning mini-retreat from conversation or devices. Bring a book, sketchbook/journal, homework, mending project, or just meditate in silence*, alongside others who are doing the same. (Or come empty-handed — we'll have a handful of books and art/writing supplies to share.) Be in community without using up your social energy!

​There will be table space with folding chairs spaced not too closely together, and a couple of softer chairs, and one yoga mat and meditation cushion available.

Here's the "cafe" part: We'll provide some loose-leaf tea options and maybe homemade scones, or you can pick up something from the lovely cafes in the neighborhood (Dek Doi is downstairs, Tea on Piedmont across the street).

​All ages welcome, but the aim is for this to be a quiet space, so keep that in mind when deciding whether to bring kiddos. (There is a courtyard right outside the door if a baby fusses or you need to have a conversation!) Also, some of the art in the studio is not kid-appropriate, but can probably be covered/hidden if need be. Please ask if you have questions.

​This event is free to attend, but tips are very much appreciated!

​*We might possibly put on some soft music, if it feels like it's needed.
