Sound Grounds Cafe

Hello Sound Grounds family! It has been years we have been gone. I Lizz will be leaving Oregon soon. If you want to reach out now is the time. If you can help with my move that is greatly appreciated. Any help. Thank you friends.

Know Thy Food is looking for Vendors!

We are seeking Local Food and Art Vendors for the Summer! Are you interested in building creative community and access to local, organic, food in the Brooklyn Neighborhood? We are currently planning Pop-Ups and Vendor Fairs in our empty next-door sister unit throughout the summer months. Come by May 13th at 6pm for our interest meeting and vendor sign-up!

If you are interested, but can’t make it in to the meet-up, please shoot us an e-mail at [email protected] or send a DM, so we can add you to our mailing list!

Hello my Sound Grounds friends! Remember our famous Original Artist Showcase? Well we are back at it! Come to Know Thy Food for our Neighborhood Talent Showcase! We may not be on Belmont anymore, but the spirit lives on!

Dearly Beloveds,

Consider this invitation as one that comes from my heart - to yours. I met Laurel about a year ago when I found her work on "WORD MAGIC." Since then, we have become good friends. I am pleased to promote her gatherings on to my community, family, and friends. She is a wonderful Poet who has woven her work with words into workshops, and "shows" that she offers here in Portland. This weekend she will be at Sacred Money Institute performing a rare piece, "the wRITES of PASSION."

Admission is a suggested donation of 15$, and she is willing to do a sliding scale. I stamp my quality assurance seal of approval that if you come, open minded, open hearted, and willing to receive - you will walk away with seeds and fruits worth the money you spend. The exchange will be fair, righteous and equal. I'm linking a short youtube video of hers here so you can get a feel for her style and prose. Hope to see you. - JT
