Serenbe Lane, Ste. A, in Serenbe

The best kept secret around is the Paint Space in Serenbe, located next to Hills & Hamlets Bookshop. It's a place you can escape to the world of making art, enjoy Interfaith meetings on Sunday, learn about the latest astrological happenings, and if you are a parent of neurodivergent child, find a supporting community for sharing, and for a small group of children there is an after school program.

Support Group for Neurodivergent Parents

No two human minds are exactly alike. Driven by the autism community’s self-advocacy in the early 1990s, Australian sociologist Judy Singer imagined a new movement where people with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and other conditions could come together to advocate for their common interests. Neurodiversity itself is not a medical diagnosis. It’s an umbrella term that encompasses a range of neurodevelopmental disabilities and other conditions that impact brain function. The term has gained widespread use as an identifier for people of all ages. According to research published in the British Medical Bulletin, approximately 15% to 20% of people globally are considered neurodiverse. Text Malinda at 310-902-5358 for more information.

May has been a busy month for us at Community Brickworks.

We had our first annual Community Brickworks Spring Fundraiser. Many folks from around Serenbe and the Chatt Hills area were in attendance. It was a great time! We used the opportunity to teach people about all the things that Brickworks does for the community along with raising some much needed funds for our organization. If you weren’t able to make it this year, please consider joining us for upcoming events throughout the year.

The Spring fundraiser will be an annual event each May. Our food pantry allowed families with children to come twice each month through the month of June. Thanks to a generous donation by Southside Church at Chatt Hills, we will be able to extend this program this summer, a much needed boost for families with kids at home.

For the month of April we saw: 55 Families, 176 Total served, 66 Children 20 families w/children came twice
