Flowers for Abed: Insights and Inquiries from the West Bank with Sonia Marcus

Thursday March 19th, 6-8pm

Conspire Studio collaborates with Sonia Marcus, changemaker, meditation teacher and former Executive Director of Southern Dharma Retreat Center. Sonia will share stories from her last three months doing protective presence work in the West Bank, weaving in insights from her own Jewish and Buddhist spiritual path and thoughts around the movement for collective liberation – in Israel/Palestine and beyond. Through a structured and gentle process, Conspire Studio facilitators Dani Austin and Kim Wayman will guide us into non-conversational art-making to process what we’ve heard (no skill/experience necessary). Please be aware that violence and violent language will be mentioned in the stories that are shared, with opportunities to move in and out of the space as needed. We’ll have hot tea and snacks and designated space for folks to care for themselves. Suggested donation $5-15.
