On-going Care Café

A 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ Care Cafe, Celebrating the Love Amongst Us🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

It’s PRIDE month and time to celebrate the love amongst us. It is also a time to acknowledge the histories of protest that have secured important civil and human rights for our LGBTQ+ friends and family. Although now, unfortunately, we are living through those histories again because so many in our community are being targeted for who they are and who they love.  

So yes, PRIDE is a time for celebrations and protest but it’s also a time to protect and support each other and draw strength from the love we share. It’s a time of joy and rejoicing in times that are filled with fear and insecurity.

That is why we are inviting you to the PRIDE Care Café, Celebrating the Love Amongst us. This Care Café at La mama on June 17 will provide a 2 hour space to come and sit with all of our complicated thoughts and emotions and to talk to others about them

So please join us for a Pride Care Cafe to celebrate the love amongst us.

A Care Café asks us to turn up as we are, with no specific agenda, expectation, or discussion topic, simply asking the question: How can we maintain an attitude of care in an uncaring world?  Set up like a conventional café with small tables and chairs, the Care Café acts as a temporary venue for community and conversation with some simple table activities set up within a framework of care. Just by entering the room, we acknowledge something of our own needs in the present moment and our desire to give and receive care.

You can RSVP to let us know you are coming, but you can drop in anytime between 5-7 pm

We hope to be holding these Care Cafes monthly. Stay tuned for dates.
