Is your mom best represented by “To My Mother” by Edgar Allan Poe, “The Joy Luck Club” by Amy Tan, or “The Runaway Bunny” by Margaret Wise Brown—or perhaps something more contemporary like “Remember” by Joy Harjo or “Good Bones” by Maggie Smith?
Join us Monday, May 11, for a special post–Mother’s Day Muse dedicated to honoring the mothers and caregivers who shape and nurture our lives. Guests are invited to share out loud a short poem, story, or passage (1–3 minutes) in gratitude or remembrance, in a warm and family-friendly setting. Bring your favorite text or one you penned yourself. Led by Niria Leyva-Gutiérrez, this heartfelt evening will celebrate love, memory, and connection—complete with sweet treats, just like mom used to make.
Doors open at 6:30pm. The Muse begins at 7:00pm.

Connect with your queer community on a deeper level. Join us for a cup of coffee, and a series of queries and responses, where everyone responds to prompts designed to get right to the point.
How it works: each person will have time to answer a unique query. The room will listen & hold space: responses, reactions and requests for more information will be held until all prompts are complete. At the end of the event we’ll socialize so that you can show people how you connected with their share. Direct & real. Cut out the superficial.
Who’s this for?: People who identify as part of the queer and trans community. Accessibility: There are no stairs to the entrance. Masks are not required. Does this cost $?: While you’re not required to pay anything, please consider buying a tasty treat and bev from our Buunni hosts!
Step into a warm, welcoming space for reflection, conversation, and discovery at our upcoming small-group workshop inspired by the book “From Age-ing to Sage-ing”. Together, we’ll explore how growing older can open new pathways to purpose, wisdom, and spiritual depth — all through guided discussion and small group reflection. Whether you’re curious, seeking connection, or looking to re-imagine this stage of life, you’ll find a supportive circle waiting. Come join us and be part of a thoughtful, engaging experience!
