Mycelium Cafe RSVP Sept. 20th, 2026 Mycelium Cafe RSVP Sept. 20th, 2026 We’re baaaaaaack….. The Mycelium Cafe this month is on Sept. 20th, 2026, 12-2pm Doors and Soup at: 11:45am Trying to start the program promptly at 12 noon so feel free to show up a little early. Oaklands Community Centre 2728 Belmont Ave. Victoria, Lək̓ʷəŋən Traditional Territories Free to attend but please RSVP (scroll down to fill out and submit the form) Donations are accepted should you feel inclined. We acknowledge and respect the Lək̓ʷəŋən peoples on whose traditional territory these events and onmyplanet.ca is based. In particular, we recognize the Songhees, Kosapsum and W̱SÁNEĆ peoples and their continuing relationship with the land, water and mycelium. Brought to you by onmyplanet.ca, and inspired by the Allies in Action Community Discussion events, and a network based concept of inclusion, The Mycelium Cafe is an all ages drop-in for 2SLGBTQIA+ older adults. Every third Sunday of the month from 12 noon- 2pm. We will gather, have some soup, watch a few queer and trans stories, talk about some stuff, and maybe someday we'll organize ourselves into something that looks more like activism. Today’s Soup is Squash - taking advantage of the fall harvest, it will be vegetarian and gluten free and there will be a bit of lactose free cream on the side for those that would like a creamier experience. Today’s Video: This Cafe will be facilitated by Marshall Kilduff, Executive Director of the Gender Generations Project (GGP)(full bio below). Through storytelling and group discussion, Marshall will lead us in exploring the magic and chaos of intergenerational, trans-affirming spaces. Together we will investigate the challenges and how we might meet each other with curiosity and grace across the mycelial network. In support of those that are allergic and sensitive to fragrance, this is a scent-free event. Please do not wear perfume or other scented products, thank you. Although the events focus on older adults and seniors, people of all ages are welcome to participate. Get involved!
