A Space for Parents: Saturday, May 16, 1:00-3:30 pm
This is a drop in 2.5-hrs zoom call for parents to engage in some empathy practices; deepen self connection; and get clarity about what really matters in the chaos.

It’s a space to get clear about how we want to move forward in ways that speak to our values and meet more needs. Learn more and register here. Scholarships available.
Cooking with Amanda: Once a Month on Wednesdays, 7:00 p.m. Amanda Strombom, President of Vegetarians of Washington, gives regular cooking classes to support those interested in moving toward a plant-based diet and learning new ways of preparing food avoiding animal products. Each class focuses on a different aspect of going veggie, whether it’s on specific food groups, on a particular health topic, shopping or even holiday cooking. Plenty of samples to taste are always provided. A nominal charge of $5 per class helps us cover the cost of the ingredients and materials. See schedule and register here.
What is Affordable Housing?: Once a month on Mondays, 6:30 p.m. What makes housing affordable? Who is impacted by the cost of housing? What can we do to help? This program series will incorporate film, conversation, and presentations from people in our region to explore the complexities of our housing crisis. In addition to planned sessions, topics will incorporate the interests of participants. The class is free, but please register. This series meets on the fourth Monday of the month, with the following two exceptions: in October, we meet on Wed, Oct 30, at 6:30 in the Sanctuary, and, we are not meeting in December.
