WI has found some Harmony, is there a cozy space near you?
The Harmony Café has two locations in Wisconsin; one in Fox Valley, and one in Green Bay; both have great calendar events coming up that you should check out and tell us about.
The Harmony Café is a unique space with an honorable pledge, within their declaration they state:
“I believe: that ALL people should be valued and appreciated; that every person is a treasure worthy of dignity & respect; that diversity in humans is a strength;
that by pre-judging people and by holding biases, I will miss the beauty within each individual person.”
What a great pledge! All groups and community spaces can learn from their acceptance. We often find ourselves working with individuals who may or may not share our views and values, however when the respect for each individuals self worth is there, real progress can begin.
What a great idea the founders of the Harmony Café had; think about contacting them if you feel their model would be a success in our neighborhoods. Sometimes providing an accepting space to meet is the first step-not to mention that their rooms look great. What a wonderful space for the organizations around these locations to meet.
Let us know how the spaces have worked for you?
