Afterward, we’ll gather over a beverage or snack to share our reflections and weave our experiences into a collective tapestry of Kinship. – First Gathering in March, meet at Wolverine Farm, 316 Willow St, Fort Collins – meet at a table outside… contact ‘Alim for more info: alim@siratiinayat.org

Brief readings and musical interludes may be offered to enhance the atmosphere and spark conversation. – Monthly on the last Sunday of the month at 8:30 am MDT / 2:30 pm UTC. 60 minutes.
