As you most likely already know, we vacated our Price Hill location and have been operating virtually since early pandemic days, meeting on Zoom at 9 am Sunday mornings.

We have started testing a temporary space for resuming in-person sitting and are now opening the invitation to a broader group.

In this phase, we won’t update the CZC website with a full public announcement, but are letting friends on our email list and who follow us on Facebook know about it.

So consider yourself invited to. . .

Monastery Studio
766 William Howard Taft Rd
Cincinnati, OH 45206

Sundays 7:15 and 9 am
Thursdays 7 pm

The virtual sit will remain at 9 am on Sundays until further notice.

If we decide to continue on with sitting at the Monastery location after a testing period, we’ll move the virtual sit to an alternate time to resolve the schedule overlap. Stay tuned for more updates on that.

We invite you to join us to address the many issues surrounding Black homeownership locally and nationally.
