  ALLways is for everybody, but it's geared toward women-identifying, and nonbinary adults.

  We'll do creative projects together, have conversation, learn, and build community. Each regular attendee will be encouraged (but not required) to lead a session with either a conversation topic or creative project. The goal is NOT to rely on one person to lead, but to share in the exchange.
