Third Tuesday Care Cafés
THIS MONTH:
It’s June and it’s Pride! So HMI and La MaMa are celebrating our EXTRA Ordinariness by making space and we mean that in every sense of the word. An ExtraOrdinary Care Café is a portal for the intergenerational queer and trans community: where LGBTQ+ youth and elders gather across generations, and care becomes its own kind of cosmos. Join us Tuesday, June 16 from 5 to 7pm. Come nourished, come joyful, come held. The universe has been waiting for you.
The Hetrick-Martin Institute provides a safe and supportive environment for LGBTQIA+
youth between the ages of 13 and 24 to achieve their full potential. At HMI, youth find the care and community they need to build brighter futures, affirm their identities, nurture their strengths, and equip them to pursue a more equitable tomorrow.
About
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 with La Mama to let us know you are coming, but you can drop in anytime between 5-7 pm.
