Expression Nights – A community gathering where people share music, expression, and writing, cultural wisdom, ancestral knowledge
Where? Wild in Manzanita
Date/Time: May 29th: 5:30-7:30pm (come get some free soup and snag a seat for a 5:45pm start)
It seems important more than ever in a climate of polarity to find places and spaces as a community to connect, share, listen and be heard. Our raw forms of expression in many artistic forms allow our internal experience to come alive, be witnessed and valued.
Expression Nights is an evening of coming together to allow your form of expression to live amongst the community.
Folks are invited to contemplate, create, and share their form of expression around a selected topic. This can be a poem, a song, a piece of writing, playing an instrument, cultural or ancestral knowledge etc…
The invitation is to be intentional. To connect to your own experience and be willing to share what is honest, raw, and true to you. If you would like to be a presenter (be brave! The world needs your expression) please email Tenisha Stock with your idea – somaticwholebeing@gmail.com
Those who would like to attend, there is no cost.
A presence of curiosity, reverence and respect is required.
Our first theme is Homeland
Here are some prompts to stimulate your expression.
What is Homeland to you?
Not what it isn’t or gets in the way of it, but what is your Homeland. How would you express it, connect to it, name it, what’s been handed down, your experience of knowing it.
Share with us your connection/expression/experience something unique to you.
If you have multiple forms of expression you’d like to share please contact me with ideas! somaticwholebeing@gmail.com
Expression Nights is a gathering under an umbrella program of Fulcrum Community Resources that provides a vehicle for broad expression of community and how we can enhance our lives and the lives of all our neighbors in the Nehalem Bay area. Expression is a means to collectively share and to bring alive our honest internal experience. This can be in any media—conversation, art, writing, music, movement—any way we can express our current reality in order to connect to our vision of a better world.
