A Neighborly Gathering Place

How this place came to be
When I (Natalie Anderson) first set foot in the building that was for sale across the street from my house, I just knew what it was supposed to be.
And in that same moment, I knew I was situated to do it — financially, emotionally, and locationally. I was postpartum with my second child, stepping away from scientific research, and wanting more connection and aliveness with the place and the people I lived near.
So I stepped into the invitation. Mostly out of a desire to create what I was missing in my own life.
Effortless community.
A platform for unpressured projects with my neighbors.
Come and find me. I’m here.
Rivers don’t simplify complexity — and neither should we.
As a river scientist, kayaker, mother, and architect of living systems, I’ve learned that real capacity isn’t about doing more. It’s about building structures that can hold variability and slow our lives — the way wood in healthy rivers creates mosaicked, complex landscapes where life rejuvenates and thrives.
