The 3rd Space Support program seeks to work with Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Two-Spirit, Trans and Gender Non-Conforming People of Color (LGBTSTGNC POC) who struggle with issues around employment, education, health care and immigration status. It is a place to give and receive sustainable support; where creation, invention and innovation will be practiced.  We will draw from our resilience to support ourselves.

Self-Preservation as Political Warfare: Writing Toward Care as Resistance

When: 
Thursday, June 4, 2026 - 6:30pm

 

Self-preservation is more than a wellness trend - it is survival, resistance, and reclamation. 

Join healotry and The Audre Lorde Project for Self-Preservation as Political Warfare: Writing Toward Care as Resistance, an interactive poetry workshop grounded in the words of Audre Lorde:
"Caring for myself is not self-indulgence. It is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare."

Together, we will explore rest, boundaries, joy, and care as acts of resistance through reflection, discussion, and creative writing. Participants will leave with original writing, collective affirmation, and reminders that our healing is political too. 

Come write, reflect, and affirm that caring for ourselves in a world that demands our exhaustion is a revolutionary act.

Refreshments will be provided!

Healing Justice Political Education Cypher

When: 
Thursday, September 11, 2025 - 6:00pm
Facilitated by community healer Jennelle Ramdeen, this introductory workshop will root our organizing work in Healing Justice. 
 
Together, we’ll explore our roots and the safety, love, and community that nourish our soil. Guiding questions will include: What is healing? What has it meant for our lineages and communities? How do we identify what is - or can be considered - healing justice? 
 
Participants will leave with a historical grounding of healing justice, an understanding of its contemporary framework, and space for personal reflection on what healing means in their own lives. This workshop will invite journaling, reflection, and collective sharing.
