Tonight! Calling all writers— experienced and new! 📝💖

Metaphor Corner is a peer-led, digital writers’ café made for writers, by writers. It aims to be a cozy, non-judgmental space that provides like-minded individuals with a space to create, share their stories, and insight, and connect with others. We want this to be a space where writers, or those interested in writing, can gather and form community around the written word.

You do not need to share your writing or have experience writing to attend. We welcome active listening, so we welcome you to listen and hold space.

Please email metaphorcornerpss@gmail.com to receive the Zoom link to join the space!

You’re invited to stop by during a week-long tour-a-thon celebration!

🌻Register at: casitatours.eventbrite.com🌻

Lovingly named after our founding board president, our peer respite is a space to get away for a bit with optional activities and support available. Kind of like… a bed and breakfast for big feelings.

Voted Best New Thing in Orlando, Eva’s Casita is a voluntary, home-like, nonclinical space where people can take a self-driven break with the optional support of others with similar lived experiences. We have scheduled and ongoing activities available, welcoming an exploration of diverse wellness tools. You get your own room and can come and go as you please.

Only open for just over a year, our casita has already been an impressively effective tool in psychiatric hospital diversion. We do not typically allow tours for guest privacy, we encourage you to take advantage of this week long tour a thon where we will not have any guests.

To allow as many people as possible to see our life-changing space, while also being mindful of neighbors and limited parking, small groups will receive a dedicated 50-minute opportunity to get a tour of the space from one of our team members. Please register to choose your preferred time slot from November 18th-25th. This will be a chance to learn about our inclusive and intentional design as well as our other programs.

This tour is open to both prospective guests and community partners. An optional volunteer opportunity will be available after your tour!

RSVP REQUIRED: casitatours.eventbrite.com

Note: Eva’s Casita is located in the S**o neighborhood of Orlando, FL. You will receive our exact address upon registering.

A delayed announcement because honestly we were at a loss for words.

😍 WE WERE VOTED THE BEST NEW THING IN ORLANDO 😭

For over five years, a collective of peers lovingly worked towards opening the first ever peer respite in Central Florida. It was done with SO many obstacles and in loving memory of our Founding Board President, Eva Fajardo, letting her legacy and vision for a better mental health system live on.

We did it! We opened last year. Years in the making - we created peer support resources, tirelessly fundraised and developed, and educated on the importance of mental health resources that are led for and by those with lived experience. It was a long road to get to opening and SO much love has been poured into Eva’s Casita by our team since opening last year. It means so much for the hard work to not go unseen.

The outpouring of support we have received for Eva’s Casita, largely from our guests, feels like a warm hug and reassurance that we’re doing the right thing. We are deeply grateful for those that make up our community and those that give generously making this work possible.

We are so excited and humbled to have become something that individuals voted is the Best New Thing in our community. Many deserving initiatives were nominated, it was an honor to stand alongside them.

THANK YOU SO MUCH ORLANDO!!! We love yall so much. 🫶🏽

Please share this post so more individuals can find our space and learn just why people think we’re the best new thing. 🥹
