Autoimmune Alliance Berkeley inaugural meetup!

Sun, Jul 26, 9:00 PM
From Autoimmune Alliance Berkeley

**This will be our first meeting! We will have several rounds of circle shares. Passing is always welcomed if words are not available at the moment. We will have blankets to sit on (always washed in unscented, non-toxic detergent :) ). We welcome all those who are affected by autoimmune conditions! This is a space to be held in, and hold others in community.** **Meeting will be at the northwest corner of the park, near Mable St. & Ward St.. I will be there with a couple of blankets to sit on, and hope to find a spot with both shade and some sun. I will bring some herbal tea (gf) and cups to share.** **I’m looking forward to meeting you!**
