Homecoming: A Sound Healing Journey with Ben Brown & Micah

“Homecoming” is an exploration of early African American music and sound meditation as binding and healing mediums. They are stories of “The People”. This sound journey will take participants through the not-so-distant past to the present juncture of time. America has written the complete African American narrative out of history and continues to try with cries of Critical Race Theory. These songs contain a portion of the record. Several tracks are church, field, prison work, or acapella pieces. They tell the stories of a people, motivate change, and help ease the struggle of surviving extreme injustice.

Theatre of the Oppressed

As always, this Game Day we invite new folk and veterans alike, for folks wanting to try something new, explore something deep, make meaningful connections and get silly. Theatre of the Oppressed offers us the opportunity to explore a myriad of complex topics creatively, while we build community together. I will be asking the assembled community to weigh in to shape the day to best meet the needs and desires of the group in attendance. We may choose to respond to harm, to turn towards joy, to get silly, to get deep, or a combination of all of these as we get out of our heads and into our bodies. 

If this is your first time joining us, you’ll be able to jump right in and play, explore and dialogue with other participant community members. All games will be scaffolded to make sure everyone is able to participate, and I work to make sure we work together to create comfort and trust.

For more information check out The Good Work Hour, where Leigh was our guest on the Nov. 22nd 2022.
