Tomorrow! Screening of A Bridge to Life at Virginia Museum of History and Culture
Watch A Bridge to Life, a documentary by Virginia filmmaker Chris Farina, tomorrow (9/29) at 2:30 PM at the Virginia Museum of History and Culture. The film follows a local group supporting men with addiction issues.
The screening is part of the "Voices of Collaboration and Justice" series, which also includes a short doc on the HARP program (peer-to-peer recovery in prison), followed by a 30-minute panel.
It’s a beautiful watch for anyone interested in prison reform, addiction recovery, or supporting a local filmmaker still working despite his ALS diagnosis.

Are there any more frequent plant swap/plant lover gatherings in RVA?
I am aware you can book tickets to The Plant House and make some different things like terrariums, moss bowls, etc.. However, I was hoping for more of a semi regular plant swap or general plant lover gathering. I can’t seem to find anything geared towards that. Am I just not searching the right parts of the interwebs?

OCD Community Walk October 5th
Hi everyone! I wanted to share a fun opportunity for anyone in Richmond who has OCD or knows someone with OCD--
On October 5th, OCD Mid-Atlantic (a local non-profit) is hosting an Obsessive Compulsive Disorder Awareness Walk in Deep Run Park (learn more/register here: Richmond OCD Walk) These walks have helped me meet some awesome community members (now friends!) and feel less alone in my recovery! There will be live music, food, and a community of people who understand how challenging it is to live with OCD and related disorders (like Hoarding and BFRBs). Funds go to support OCD Mid-Atlantic and the International OCD Foundation in their mission to increase OCD Awareness and access to treatment.
