  Wishing everyone a healthy, productive, impactful year of creative work ahead! Neighbourhood Folk is continuing in the New Year. Our goal is to host gatherings to share creative works on the first Sunday afternoon of the month from 3 to 5 pm with a potluck following at 5 pm. Our mission is to build strength in our creative capacity and increase our depth of connective capability. The work we do to articulate our human experience through creative works may be the most important investment we make to improve outcomes for humanity and life on earth. https://simpli.events/e/neighbourhoodfolk_jan5_2025 Neighbourhood Folk is inspired by the idea that we need access to creative experiences within walking distance from home, where there are no dues or fees to pay in order to be part of the sharing.
