Dark Nights Guide presented by The School of Each Other

The sun sets around 4:30 now and Portland’s long gray season is here. Let’s meet it together.

The School of Each Other believes everyone is a teacher. This time the whole room teaches. Come share what gets you through the dark months, and leave with a pile of other people’s wisdom. 

Bring something to share, such as:

• A tip, ritual or habit that helps you in winter (we’ll collect everyone’s into a little zine, The Dark Nights Guide)
• Sourdough starter, seeds, or a cutting from a plant
• A favorite knitting pattern, recipe, playlist or book
• Resources: a good light lamp, a rainy-day walk, a sauna, a class, a hotline, a hobby
• Anything you’d like to swap: rain gear, puzzles, books, cozy things

Want to teach? Sign up at the door for a 5-minute lightning lesson. Show us your soup, your stretch, your secret. Everything counts. If you’d rather just listen, that’s welcome too.

There will be a fire, warm drinks, and snacks. Free and open to all.

This gathering is at Peery’s home. There’s plenty of street parking. The front door has 7 steps, and there’s a step-free entrance with a ramp around back. A bathroom and a full kitchen are available if you need them.
