  • Sitar's also hosts a monthly Ki's Calm Cafe at Sitar from 1:30pm - 4:00pm. Ki's Calm Cafe is an interactive, sacred space for sharing and connection. Inspired by the open mics and cozy cafes of the 90s, this unique gathering invites students to showcase their talents and reflections in a welcoming, fun atmosphere. It seamlessly combines the tranquility of mindfulness with the energy and creativity of traditional open mics, offering a space that is both grounding and inspiring. These events are open to Alumni of Sitar and their friends. Snacks and beverages will always be provided based on the number of RSVPs. We hope to see you there!

  • By participating in Sitar teen events, you agree to:

    • Ask questions rather than make assumptions. It's okay not to know something, but it's important to be open and curious.
    • Accept people as they are. Everyone has different experiences, so meet them where they’re at.
    • Give constructive feedback only if someone asks for it, and always do so with respect.
    • Clean up your space and return items to their proper location after using them.
    • Respect others' work and ideas. Don’t take credit for someone else’s creativity.
    • Welcome people, especially guests, to the Sitar community.
    • Use the preferred names and pronouns people ask you to use.

    You also agree that:

    • We’re all aiming for a calm, positive vibe.
    • This space is shared and you are not entitled to it. 
    • Everyone deserves to feel welcome and respected.
    • Leading with patience is key in our community.
