A feminist horror film club that provides a space for horror fans to discover and discuss films revolving around the female and feminine presenting experience. Pay-what-you-can (suggested $5-20) – no one turned away for lack of funds.

First & Third Fridays (Fourth Friday in October), October 24 – April 24 | 6-8pm

Calling all Studio Ghibli fans! This twice monthly film night will include most (not all) Hayao Miyazaki movies—featuring fantastical, whimsical worlds of humans, animals, and spirits colliding. Whether this is your first time or your hundredth time watching, these movies are sure to delight and inspire. For ages two to one-hundred-and-two (check the calendar for film details and age advisories). Pay-what-you-can (suggested $5-10 for one, or $65-$130 for all thirteen).

Third Thursdays | 3:30-5:30pm

Paper is a portal into the sacred and mundane. Writing and sending letters can be a slow, tender, nonlinear, radical release of rigid expectations and attachments to outcomes. Come unlearn and relearn how to be in relationship by turning letters into art. In this supportive group space, we’ll tune into our bodies, feel the pleasure of our raw and finished practice, and make it our own. Bring your ideas, stories, and queerest ways of connecting. Supplies will be provided—you’re also welcome to bring your own! Pay-what-you-can (suggested donation $5).

Second Saturdays | 1-3pm

A time for telling and hearing stories old and new about our wondrous more-than-human world. How & why stories, trickster tales, and mycelial myths re-enchant our animate earth and weave in teachings about being kin. Youth, elders, and everyone in between are invited to orally tell, read, and listen. Pay-what-you-can (suggested donation $5).

Fourth Fridays | 10am-2pm

A judgment-free space for giving and receiving peer support in knocking things off the to-do list. Co-work side-by-side and cheer each other on in getting things done! Kids activities available. Pay-what-you-can (suggested donation $5).

Last Sundays | 4-6pm

Free mutual aid potluck at the Clayton Jackson McGhee Memorial (East 1st St & North 2nd Ave). Bring food, clothing, and hygiene items to share. Volunteers and donations welcome. For more info, email fnbduluth@gmail.com.

First Fridays, January 2–July 3 | 7-9pm

Heartbeats is an all-ages dance party for moving the body, heart, and soul. Come dance your heart out with music that heals your heart, lifts your spirit, and gets your blood flowing! Pay-what-you-can (suggested $5).

Mondays, January 12–February 9 | 6-8pm

Remember how to feel. Authentic Movement provides a simple structure for connecting with our body’s inward experience and expressing it outwardly through movement—a gentle, self-guided practice that everyone (people of all bodies, abilities, and backgrounds) can do; no dance or movement experience is required. Integrate the many layers of your feeling being by letting your body guide the way. Pay-what-you-can (suggested $10-15). Register here.

Sundays, January 18 – February 8 | 4-7pm

A reading, writing, discussion, and practice workshop based on the book Hospicing Modernity: Facing Humanity’s Wrongs and the Implications for Social Activism by Vanessa Machado de Oliveira. Together, we’ll: •  Reimagine how we learn, unlearn, and respond to crisis; •  Expand our capacity to hold personal and collective space for difficult and painful things; •  Understand the “5 modern-colonial Es”: Entitlements, Exceptionalism, Exaltation, Emancipation, and Enmeshment in low-intensity struggle activism; •  Interrupt our satisfaction with modern-colonial desires that cause harm; •  Create space for change driven neither by desperate hope nor a fear of desolate hopelessness. Pay-what-you-can (suggested $30-80). Register here.
