About the space

The Asterisk is a community of healers, liberation workers and creatives who choose to work alongside others rather than in isolation.

We will have full-time offices for rent for monthly 24/7 access, and part-time offices available if you need to rent just a couple of days on a regular weekly basis. We will also offer community coworking and group and event space for gatherings, workshops and more.

About us

We’re two queer and trans folk who wanted to create a place where we wanted to go to work, alongside rad folk committed to art, healing and social justice.

Charles Thompson-Shealy is a liberation-centered clinical psychotherapist and the owner of Cenote Therapy. They are a textile and print artist and all-around creative queerdo that loves to make things with his hands and is always down to learn a new artistic technique or medium.

S. Leigh Thompson-Shealy is an equity and justice strategist, consultant and coach, a Theatre of the Oppressed Joker, a master facilitator and joyful trouble-maker. As a former theatre kid, Leigh believes he can make anything with some duct tape, zip ties and binder clips.

We have the same last name because we are family. We raise a kiddo together in a home we share with a dog and cat in Kingston. We are obsessed about community and think it’s our most powerful resource.
