Your excitement is incredibly contagious. I'll definitely be there for the panel discussions on 02/09, 02/10. Thanks for sharing this story!

You're going to freak out when you see the space. Just a head's up: unless you're there for a public event (which they put on frequently), be sure to call or email ahead to schedule a visit.

Absolutely amazing! Incredibly inspiring and it is now on my list of places to visit next time I’m in town.

Can't wait for you to see it. Just a heads up: if you're not attending an event (which they have all the time, open to the community), best to contact them ahead of time for a tour.

As always, you convey so much more than the facts of a person, place, or thing. You convey the essence of them and the feel of being in the room. Thank you so much for this piece. Still lying on the floor with you, grateful that people/places like this exist in the world.

That makes me so happy. I'm imagining all of us lying on that floor together.

I think you would really dig being in the space and attending one of the panels. It feels so good in there.

Oh damn girl, you always nail it. This post and this place make me believe in humanity in all of its odd forms, and make me wanna go there and make stuff. Thank you from the bottom of my mostly cynical but occasionally hopeful heart.

You would be in heaven there. And it would drive out so much cynicism from your heart (it did for mine).

This made me teary. I wouldn’t want to leave either.

Jennifer Rabin's avatar

I am certain that you would've been lying on the floor with me not wanting to ever leave.

I really hope you get to see it and feel it for yourself. It's so worth the trip.
