  • Community Conversation: Lament & Protest

    • 25 Jun 2025

    • 149 Wallace St.
    Register

    This month we're doing something a little different for our Community Conversation series. 

    There's so much that feels heavy, overwhelming and infuriating in the world these days and we need more spaces to be able to hold our grief together. 

    For this evening, we'll use art, poetry and other forms of creative expression to both lament and protest.

    Lament: "to passionately express grief or sorrow" 

    Protest: "express an objection to what someone has said or done"

    There will be different stations set up to engage with a variety of prompts and materials and then we will spend time debriefing together to close the evening. 

    If you're feeling overwhelmed, angry or depressed, come and express it collectively through art. We gain the courage to act and the courage to hope when we grieve together. 

    This is a free event with space limited to 20 people. Please register to reserve your spot. 

    Facilitated by Jessica.
