From the Grief Room:

Next month, I am delighted to facilitate a drop-in community art ritual in the new Grief Room studio space exploring ways we can honor what is breaking/has broken/needs to break in this collective moment, right alongside what is bringing us together.

I love art and the way it invites us out of our heads and into our bodies and sensations with tangible form. I love ritual, and Katherine May’s definition of reclaiming ritual in our everyday as a ‘conscious, intentional, and repetitive action that embeds meaning into daily life, allowing us to connect with our surroundings and process emotions.’ Together, we’ll explore both.

Looking forward to tending with you,
–Kenlee, The Grief Room

From Mississippi Watershed Management Organization (MWMO):

Join us for a guided sound bath experience that invites you to connect with the mind and the river, beginning with a pause that invites stillness and listening. The human body is made of nearly 60% water, mirroring the river’s own flowing nature. In this session, you’ll be guided into stillness, turning your attention inward to notice subtle movement, breath, and rhythm.

The river’s flow creates sound as water meets rock. The crystal singing bowls, formed from earth, stone, and crystal, carry these same elemental origins. As their tones fill the space, gentle vibrations move through the body, bringing inner and outer waters into into confluence, resonating through the body. In this shared sound and stillness, we return to a natural rhythm, remembering a sense of presence that has always been there.

This immersive workshop offers a moment of rest, reflection, and sensory connection that encourages you to slow down, listen deeply, and reconnect with both yourself and the river.

From the League of Womens Voters Minneapolis (LWVMpls):

We are honored to be joined by Minneapolis Chief of Police O’Hara to discuss the Separation Agreement as a policing strategy, its origins in crime reduction efforts, and how it has reshaped the relationship between the MPD and minority communities. Operation Metro Surge and ICE’s detention of lawful immigrants and U.S. citizens have now challenged its implementation and drawn criticism from residents who are questioning the MPD’s ability to ensure public safety and mitigate neighborhood disruptions and violence. This conversation with Chief O’Hara will provide an opportunity for participants to ask questions, share experiences, and engage directly with the Chief on these important issues.
