🎉 December Support Group Gathering: Holiday Social & Potluck
Thursday, December 18th
6:00 PM – 8:00 PM
Southwest Institute of Healing Arts (SWIHA)
1538 E. Southern Ave., Tempe, AZ 85282
This month’s meeting will be purely social — no speaker, no structured circle — just connection, celebration, and community.
✨ Kids, teens (with family), and chosen family are welcome.
✨ Ugly sweaters, festive sparkles, holiday pajamas, or “ugly caftans” encouraged (but optional!).
✨ Come relaxed and ready to meet others in a pressure-free environment.
🍽️ Potluck Details (No Pressure to Bring Anything!)
To help balance dishes, we’re using last names as a guideline — not a requirement:
A–F: Main Dishes
G–L: Side Dishes
M–R: Salads, Fruits, Veggie Plates
S–Z: Desserts & Sweet Treats
This is not a vegan-only event — bring anything you love to share.
If you’re unable or prefer not to bring a dish, please still come.
Leadership will coordinate the essentials, so everyone is fed and welcomed.
🕯️ Support Available if You Need It
We know the holidays can be joyful for some and challenging for others.
While the main event will be in Rooms 7/8, we will also have:
A quiet private room available
A trained support volunteer present (thank you, Sam!)
One-on-one emotional support for anyone who arrives needing care
No explanations needed — if you need support, we’re here.
