Popping up next

We will be working diligently throughout the fall to prepare for next year’s Pop-Up Village events.

The Village is committed and excited to continue popping-up across the Bay Area to cultivate cooperative economics while providing critical restorative resources for the people! Our intention for this brief hiatus is reflection and restoration in order to evolve — the Village is about building relationships which happens at the speed of trust, and that takes time!
