ATWC and Watu Moja Presents: Freedom Notes Open Mic Night

Freedom Notes is an open mic gathering rooted in release, resonance, and collective witness

Hosted by all that we carry and Watu Moja, this night is an offering, a space to lay something down, say something out loud, and be held in community while you do it.

Bring your poems, songs, stories, confessions, prayers, experiments, and half-finished thoughts.

Bring something you’ve been carrying, or come empty-handed and just listen.

This is not a talent show. It is not a competition.
It is a room where people get free for a little while.

• on-site open mic sign-ups
• community-centered space
• poetry • music • short stories
• community atmosphere, low-pressure, high-care
• time limits honored so everyone gets a turn
• gentle vibe checks and big love
• archetypes quiz station
• free thrift area (post-quiz access)

Artists, non-artists, shy speakers, loud speakers, first-timers, long-timers, people who haven’t written in years, people who don’t know what they want to say yet — you belong here.

• all are welcome; hate speech and harassment are not
• content may include emotionally heavy themes — take care of yourself
• space aims to be grounding, supportive, and community-centered

Come as you are. Leave a little lighter.

During the event you’ll be invited to complete our Archetypes Quiz, a playful reflective tool from the all that we carry universe.

✨ Complete the quiz = access to the free thrift racks
Clothing and small items will be available while supplies last.

The quiz isn’t a test — it’s a moment of reflection about what you carry, how you move through the world, and which archetypes you’re in conversation with right now.
