On this anniversary weekend of George Floyd’s death, come hold space to mourn the reality of our current oppressive systems and imagine a better world together

Our culture desperately needs spaces where it is safe to feel your sorrow and the weight of oppression in our weary world. Come sing through the small and large griefs in your life and give them space to breathe and heal.
