Accessibility at LICHEN CENTER

All LICHEN offerings center accessibility, collective liberation, and disability justice practices.

The meadow where most offerings take place is relatively level with a few divots and tufts of long grass. There is an outhouse with a ramp nearby. Seating on offer are wooden benches and a few chairs. If you have any accessibility needs, please don’t hesitate to let us know.

To honor neurodiversity and the porcupines in the meadow, please don’t bring pups or kiddos.

Normalizing wearing masks is encouraged, along with supporting anyone who needs masks worn in order to attend.

As of right now all offerings take place outside and are small. If wearing masks outside is not an accessibility need for anyone at a particular gathering, then mask wearing is optional. Anyone attending offerings should be ready and willing to wear a mask if it makes it possible for someone else to attend who may not be able to otherwise. Anyone with a medical condition who would be harmed by wearing a mask can of course choose to forgo wearing a mask. Throughout all of these options there is expectation that anyone with exposure to any kind of contagious illness will share that information with those present so that everyone can decide whether wearing a mask would be best for their own health needs.

It’s all a dance, with consideration towards the vulnerable, centering the general health of everyone present.

There are so few inclusive spaces where it’s asked that we keep each other’s needs in mind. LICHEN wishes to be a place where accessibility needs are honored and respected, which takes mental flexibility and a heart centered approach from everyone involved.

If you wish to attend an offering, please know you can always ask and request what you need in order to feel protected and considered.

May we continue to learn and unlearn with tenderness.
