Upcoming Events

EVENTS ON PAUSE UNTIL COVID-19 PASSES

We had been planning to have a wonderful variety of events this year, including:
  • May 24th community opening celebration and storytelling
  • June Racial Unity Team event about Colorism (What's colorism?)
  • July 4th storytelling event, featuring veterans
  • September community storytelling event
  • 6 month small group deep dive on racial justice
  • Weekly community yoga with Evergreen Yoga
  • 2 larger yoga events
Right now, all events are on hold. Instead of trying to transfer these events to online, we are encouraging folks to get off their computers and into nature. The Robinwood Center aims to bring people together, and until we can do that physically, we will pause our own events and encourage you to support businesses that need your attention to stay afloat. As we get more answers about what is and isn't socially responsible, we will keep you posted about when we feel ready to host events again.
If you are looking for some Robinwood Center type things to do, here are some recommendations:
  • Support local businesses by ordering food out or attending online yoga classes
  • Podcast: Scene on Radio, Season 2: Seeing White about racial justice
  • Braiding Sweet Grass by Robin Wall Kimmerer, a beautifully written book about indigenous wisdom on the natural world. Fun on audio book too, because it is read by the author!
  • The Racial Unity Team is holding frequent virtual programs on racial justice topics. Find them on facebook or their website for the latest information.
In the meantime, stay healthy, stay grounded, and we hope to see you all soon!
