South Philly Hearth
A self-directed space for grownups!
Join us this Tuesday from 6-8pm at “The Hearth” - a weekly gathering space for our community members to create, connect, and engage in resource-sharing and mutual aid. You are encouraged to attend if you have things you need to do, things you'd like to do, or things you want help doing--and you'd be better able or more likely to do those with some company and support!
WHAT?
Like Wild Seeds, the Hearth intends to be an intentional, self-directed community for our adult community members, where participants take according to need and give according to capacity.In practice, this will likely look like some attendees engaged in quiet, independent work in one room and others participating in more active, collaborative projects in another. People may choose to attend because they... have a half-finished novel who wants a quiet space, some gentle accountability (or maybe even some feedback!) to finish the dang thing…
WHEN?
Every Tuesday from 6-8pm.
WHERE?
The Dandelion Project - 1415 S. 9th St. Philadelphia, PA
COST
Attending The Hearth is free, but if you like what we do, please consider making a tax-deductible donation in support of The Dandelion Project, a 501(3)(c) non-profit.
