The Core Source is ideal for workshops, classes, readings, retreats, weddings and other celebrations.
Whether you’re planning a workshop, a retreat or a celebration for 80, The Core Source could be just what you’ve been looking for.

The perfect setting for your gathering — large or small.
The living room offers a timeless setting, comfortable furniture and warm lighting.
Our warm, artfully designed rooms combine recycled materials and beautiful cast-away objects to create a unique decor.
You can choose individual rooms or reserve the entire space to suit your specific needs.

The gallery workshop can either be set up with tables and chairs or as a wide-open space.
The room features the work of local artists. The atmosphere is casual but conducive to getting down to business.

The garden patio is an eclectic outdoor space.
We offer five distinct environments:
We’re close to the Concordia New Seasons Market, McMenamins Kennedy School and the Alberta Street Art District — just north of Killingsworth Street on Northeast 30th Ave.
“We very much appreciate you being a partner in our shared mission to help struggling communities, alleviate poverty and improve lives. Thank you for your wonderful space!”
—Minda Seibert, Mercy Corps
