SUMMARY:A Candlelight Vigil to Channel Pain into Acts of Love and Resistance
DESCRIPTION:Some pain is too big to hold alone. Join our virtual gathering to hold space for collective grief and to provide sustenance and strength to keep going. \nThis online Candlelight Vigil is for anyone carrying the weight of what’s happening in the world right now: war\, violence\, the climate crisis\, authoritarianism\, and the erosion of justice. Whether you’re directly impacted or watching from a distance\, you are welcome here. \nAs the United States marks the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence\, we will convene with healers\, activists and artists in a virtual space for ritual\, music\, and honest conversation. We will grieve what needs grieving\, renew our commitment to the ideals of democracy\, and consider acts of love – both big and small – to carry out in these challenging times. We’ll explore the question: How can our grief and pain become sources of power and love? \nSpecial guests include writer and soul activist Francis Weller\, public health strategist and family caregiver advocate Paurvi Bhatt\, death doula and artist Mangda Sengvanhpheng\, nurse and activist Sarah Warren\, RN\, and Twin Cities-based leaders from Singing Resistance.
