We heated things a bit at the April Meetup! TMS founders Lili Stiefel and Ariel Bastida hopped right into the spring season by hosting an open discussion on the impact of mixed identities on dating, relationships, and love.

Dr. Donna Walton, the founder of Divas with Disabilities, has one question: What’s a leg got to do with it? The March Meetup brought light to National Disabilities Awareness Month & International Women’s Month.

The Mixed Space (TMS) founder Lili Stiefel excitedly announced as she pivoted the spotlight to our community members. For the February Meetup, we took it back to the roots of TMS as we discussed the journey of mixed identity.

January’s meetup started 2022 with newly ignited energy thanks to this month’s speaker, Owl Rare. As a way to kick off the New Year at The Mixed Space (TMS), the meetup highlighted the importance of having yoga in your daily practice.

At the height of twenty-first-century humanism–that is the prioritization of self-agency over the divine–the idea of “keeping a faith” seems burdensome on our path to enlightenment.

Life is harsh on the rez. Residents are imprisoned in a strange duality where the natural world is both beautiful and holy. You are husked with an eternal expanse of robin’s egg blue sky silked with cloudstrands and a clarifying coldness.

December’s meetup was filled with wisdom, knowledge, and “meeting people on a heart level” with our speakers Riyana Zafira Razalee and Rabbi Marjorie Berman. This was the first Mixed Space meetup that highlighted interfaith experiences and mixed religious identities.

November is the time for celebrating National Native American Heritage month. At The Mixed Space’s November Meetup, we came together to connect and to highlight what life looks like at the intersections of society.

October’s Meetup celebrated Halloween early as we discussed Halloween costumes and how they have been shaped over time, especially by the LGBTQIA+ community.
