Living Memorials
Seattle, WA
Saturday, May 26th 10 am gather Play Shop 10:30am to 5:30 pm
For too long we have been at war with ourselves. We wake up with hope and possibility, but so often spend a good part of the day steeped in patterns of behavior and thought processes that only serve to beat us down and kill our spirits.
In honor of Memorial Day, we will play into and remember who we really are. The time together will be a reflection of what we memorialize and what we remember / re-member.
“make yourself an altar
bring beauty all around you
light a thousand candles
be the dance of their flames”
We will create space to decorate and honor all that we have fought for, hold gently all that we have are ready to release, and proclaim bravely all that we are and have always been.
Come to re-member all that is Real and True through myth and improvisational playfulness.
Come sing, dance, tell stories, write and be revitalized. No experience necessary.
