I STILL NEED YOU TO SHARE, donate, talk about and support…. only 20 days left. This is a personal passion project that affects the whole community. Its Ottawas first THIRD PLACE: a centre to convene, network, hang out, create and teach… I am personally making this happen, but I depend on the kindness of others. Its NOT a non for profit. No grants... This is a dream of mine that needs your help. Ive only been open for 3 days and already see its positive affects. People with tears in their eyes, expressing how much they love it, how theyve needed this, how theyve shared this dream too and now have a place to call their own. Even 5-10$ means a lot... plus there are all sorts of fun perks from free coffee to a pack of thank you cards to original paintings… IF YOU HAVENT SHARED IT - do it today! For those of you who have shared it, share it again. I only have 20 days left and I need every penny to make this space last. You are my lifeline. PLEASE SUPPORT XO Popularized by Ray Oldenburg with his book “The Great Good Place”, third place stands in contrast to the intimate home (first) place and the more formal work (second) place where we spend our private and productive time. Identified and described in the literature are dominated by privately run establishments: pubs, coffee shops, local diners, lunch counters are much lauded as neighbourhood hangouts. Traditionally these places are small, modest, locally run establishments nestled in neighbourhoods and frequented by the local residents. They are most often interior spaces although outdoor cafes are also third places. For authors like Oldenburg (The Great Good Place) third places are largely the domain of ‘regulars’; they are reasonably predictable (one can anticipate what will happen in any given location and who, generally, will be there); and the atmosphere is relaxed and open-ended. Oldenburg conveys a sense of nostalgia for a by-gone era when he writes about ‘third place’. He also suggests that third places are mixing places: generations meet and find common ground; differences are tolerated; and new ideas can be tested through playful or more serious conversation. https://indiegogo/projects/725964/x/6329215
