Each spring brings with it hopes of fresh starts, clean slates, and new beginnings. This spring, such a thing is not possible. In a moment marked by horrific violence and human suffering, there are no fresh starts. We carry with us the grief, the pain, the helplessness, the anger, the sorrow, the exhaustion.
This gathering asks how we might honor the concept of renewal by transmuting it into a renewed ability to be present with and responsive to today’s world. Razrbark takes us on a sonic journey to help us channel the emotions of this moment. Nocturnal Medicine guides us in a ritual for regeneration.
The dance floor is our temple, but tonight it is a space of rest. We sit, we lay, we hold each other – we inhabit the space however we are moved. We understand that tending to ourselves isn’t about disengagement – but about sustaining our engagement. That when we process our emotions we liberate energy to take constructive action. Together, we return to ourselves, nurture our communities, and build up our resilience.
