Sweet & Salty Circle
2026-03-20 11:00 - 12:00 (America/Detroit) | Zoom, Virtual
Join us this Winter session of Sweet & Salty Circle, where we’ll dive into cookies, candy, chips, and conversation, all through the lens of living with disability.
Sweet & Salty Circle is a fun and fantastic opportunity to sample new treats and socialize with your peers. Each month, we’ll alternate between sweet and salty themes – one month it might be cookies and candy, the next it could be chips, pretzels, or other savory surprieses!
Using snacks as as our conversation piece, we’ll explore seasonal flavors, and we’ll get to reflect on our own personal “flavor profiles” as individuals.

Selected Fridays 11AM-Noon Virtually on Zoom

Registration required.
Contact Anna – anna@dnwml.org to RSVP and get specifics on sweet and salty treat selections for each month
Each participant will be responsible for purchasing their own treats ahead of each session.
