Spring Equinox Community Celebration & Potluck Dinner

🌸 Celebrate the Start of Spring at Our March Community Potluck! 🌸

Join us at the Kota Alliance in the historic neighborhood of Sugar Hill in West Harlem for our first Community Potluck Dinner of 2025! As the seasons shift, let’s come together for an evening of food, connection, and renewal. All women and gender-nonconforming people are welcome to attend this free offering. Our potluck space is a multigenerational space for community-building and connection.

🌿 This month, we honor the Spring Equinox, embracing themes of connection and new beginnings. Our gathering will open with grounding practices for rest and relaxation and close with a special community ritual led by and .

🍲 What’s on the menu?

We’ll provide a main dish and non-alcoholic refreshments, and you’re invited to bring a snack, side dish, dessert, or drink to share - only if you’re able! There is no pressure here, just community. You can also always donate funds towards the meals through the donate button on any week (this is an entirely optional invitation).

✨ Come as you are.

This is a multigenerational space for women and gender-nonconforming people to connect, reflect, and nourish both body and spirit. Come as you are in whatever is most comfortable to you. There are no expectations for how you show up - just that however you join is in respect and appreciation to the fellow attendees.
