[Wamvan] Invitation - dialogue, creative exploration of identities: queer, feminist and Christian

Sun Jun 1 18:17:48 PDT 2014

Refreshing this conversation!

When are you arriving in Vancouver Jenna?

As I think you saw in a separate, complementary message chain on this
event, someone recommend Heartwood Community Cafe
<http://www.heartwoodcc.ca/> as a venue, formerly Rhizome (most WAM!mers
will remember Rhizome....).  Heartwood is an LGBTQ welcoming space,
emphasizing social justice and community organizing, that also seems to be
spiritually oriented.

Sounds perfect to me. Only problem is, they're closed on Mondays!

I'll reach out to them and see if we can book that space. Are there any
other nights that week that work?
