    • 🔥 Come hang out, enjoy the chill vibes and play games at the Bonfire from 5pm to 6:3opm PST. This meet up is uniquely for Black Garden members and will take place in the Bonfire section of Garden. RSVP here.
    • 🚦Our first ever Stop Light Party starts at 6:30pm PST! Find a new friend, a new crush or both! Deck out your avatar in either Yellow, Red or Green at the party to communicate:
      • 🟡 Yellow: Looking for friends

  • You are also welcome to drop in on any of our reoccurring events (RSVP for any of them here):
    • Reading for Palestine Book Club (Tuesdays 2:45pm to 3:45pm PST): This upcoming week, the book club will be reading the first two chapters of 100 Years War on Palestine by Rashid Khalidi. There's a copy of it in the Stone Room's Palestine library. Please email magpiekachi@proton.me to join!
    • 💻 Tech Office Hours (3rd Tuesday of the month 3pm-5pm PST): Have questions about software, hardware, web design, cybersecurity or data privacy? Need help troubleshooting a tech issue on Gather? Visit Al's office for coworking specifically for help with technical issues or questions.
    • 🧘‍♀️ Yoga @ Garden (Fridays 2:15pm to 3pm PST): Our fellow Garden(er) Caroline will be streaming a yoga video from YouTube and following along. Videos will be ~25-45 minutes long and may be at easy to moderate pace. Video suggestions welcome.
    • 🎭 Non-Competitive Improv for All Levels (Sundays 11am to 12:30pm PST): Come learn basic and fun improvisational comedy skills and games. You don’t have to have improv or acting skills.
