November 2nd
2:45pm - 4:00pm EDT
An Embodied Exploration of Legacy, Space and Belonging
As human beings, we have an innate need for a sense of belonging in our world and long for comfort, safety and purpose as we follow the paths of our lives. Through the flesh, our hearts and bones, our blood and breath, and the microcosm of our cells and DNA, we will explore the ways that we embody our ancestral spirit, as how we are all part of the natural world within us and around us. Be prepared to move, draw, write or vocalize. Honoring all backgrounds, each person is welcome to participate from their own place of calling and Curiosity.
