Firstly, the most ENORMOUS thank you!
THANK YOU !!
It’s a while since proper posting
To all the people that helped put the fundraiser together!
(they are listed below:)
To all the people that turned up, donated, shared the information, made me cry happy tears, and/or found us for the first time… Thank you!! 💕
It has been a whirlwind of a time and even though I felt like I was doing the right thing, (with setting up the Dragonfly space) I had no idea that you loved it SO much! 💗
The connections and ripples created in this space continue to grow, and the hope we collectively have to experience a better world for all of us, is also growing.
Thank you again and watch this space as we announce other fun community building coming up🙂

Closing early today.
Thank you to all of our customers that came in early today!
And for continuing to turn up on this day, even though we were closed on Thursdays, for many, many months, in solidarity with Bisan Owda and the people of Palestine 🇵🇸

Felix Elliot is playing on the community piano today…a little live music in the middle of your day.
Grab a coffee, sit for a moment, and let yourself slow down for a bit.
No rush. Just good music, good space, and a small pause in your week.

We have just had another exciting merger here Dragonfly
The treasure exchange from the Veronica Sherman monkey temple has landed in our beautiful space. There are rules though.
Take a treasure replace with a treasure.
Be respectful of the treasure, treasure-display/holder and people with, and around, you.
