Adult Adoptee Social

September 6, 2025

5:30-10:00 pm PT

FREE

This Adoptee Only Social is a special one! We will have Melissa Bennett joining us—a writer, healer, and transracial adoptee. Melissa will guide us in reflecting on how food and ingredients, both from where we live and where we come from, can nurture identity, belonging, and ancestral memory.

ALL adoptees are welcome. We will be centering BIPOC and transnational adoptee experience at this event and encourage sharing, listening, and learning.

Details:

This social will feature wood-fired pizza! If you have dietary requests, (vegan, dairy-free, or gluten free, etc.) we are always open to finding a way to assist you the best we can. Please contact [email protected]

Accessibility:

Our location changes depending on the weather. Contact [email protected] for more details.

Covid precautions: We don’t require masking or notice of vaccination. We ask that attendees are thoughtful about each other’s personal space, touching, and take care with their hygiene.
