WHY
OUR OWN SPACE? Many of us,
born in the 20s, 30s, and 40s, are accustomed to concealing
major parts of ourselves to ensure our survival. Not comfortable
with today’s openness, we find it difficult to explain
our families, our friends, and our lifestyles to traditional
senior organizations
GRIOT
Circle is a safe space where we can relax, hang out, and share
our experiences in a warm and supportive environment. We can
reconnect with old friends, meet new ones, and affirm our
lives and our community.
