I honestly can say that I grin in feeling grateful and happy when recalling a visit here. I embarked on this unexpected experience with a dear friend of many decades. We followed the advice of our dear guide Nick, a gifted facilitator, not a traditional museum docent by any means, to experience the surroundings without taking a lot of photos. It brought me back to a childlike curiosity and amazement of being in the present moment.
Every niche and cranny on the exterior as well as the interior explodes with limitless creativity.
There were a series of riddles to answer as well as thought provoking questions providing introspection and a deepening of a connection between my friend and I. A highlight was a visit to an intimate space where we were invited to write a note to a deceased one. Think of Day of the Dead altars on steroids! We were also treated to a spontaneous performance with drumming and belly dancing transitioning to us all dancing joyfully together. A soulful lunch of salad, pilaf, butternut squash soup, pumpkin pie and lemonade was deliciously offered by artists.
This was an unique engaging experience to be with an open mind and heart to experience wonder and delight!

It was such a joy to meet you and your charismatic friend during the experience. You have an unusually bright and kind presence as reflected in your words here. I definitely hope to cross paths with you again, whether at one of our upcoming shows/ experiences or just in the streets of San Francisco.
So glad that you enjoyed.
Keep on dancing ….
Grateful
