SUMMARY:Narrative Processing + Liberatory Visioning Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our monthly Narrative Processing + Liberatory Visioning Workshop \n\nThis is a casual\, communal gathering hosted by seeing rainbows\, where we hold space with writing\, reflection\, and collective dreaming. Together\, we stand intentionally in the liminal space between past and present\, drawing on the generative energy of the group and the container we build to nurture a shared sense of liberation. \nIn this continuing workshop (2nd Sunday of the month)\, we’ll explore the power of narrative for visioning and healing; though rooted in writing\, all mediums and forms of expression are welcome. \nThis is an open workshop\, with cis allies welcomed. Come early to grab a beverage and snack.

SUMMARY:Sanctum Gallery Grand Opening!
DESCRIPTION:Sanctum Gallery will celebrate its grand opening during Pittsfield’s 10 x 10 Festival on Saturday\, February 14\, Valentine’s Day\, at 148 North Street\, Pittsfield\, MA. The gallery will be open to the public from 1:00pm to 6:00pm marking the opening of a new community centered art and gathering space devoted to listening\, creativity\, and connection. \nThe inaugural art exhibit\, When Listening Becomes the Lens by founder Tracy Squires emerged through extended solitude and deep intimacy with nature giving rise to liminal experiences where listening becomes a way of seeing and awareness blossoms into a shared presence. Offered on a day devoted to love\, the exhibit invites a remembrance of the deeper connection that underlies and connects us all. \nAn invitation to gather in a circle at 4:00pm marks the beginning of an ongoing rhythm of community gatherings\, rooted in listening\, love and belonging. \nThe gallery serves as a community hub\, hosting art exhibits alongside films\, music\, sound baths\, classes\, and creative offerings\, with a commitment to supporting local artists. \nAll offerings at Sanctum Gallery are held on a donation basis. \n

SUMMARY:Narrative Processing + Liberatory Visioning Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our monthly Narrative Processing + Liberatory Visioning Workshop \n\nThis is a casual\, communal gathering hosted by seeing rainbows\, where we hold space with writing\, reflection\, and collective dreaming. Together\, we stand intentionally in the liminal space between past and present\, drawing on the generative energy of the group and the container we build to nurture a shared sense of liberation. \nIn this continuing workshop (2nd Sunday of the month)\, we’ll explore the power of narrative for visioning and healing; though rooted in writing\, all mediums and forms of expression are welcome. \nThis is an open workshop\, with cis allies welcomed. Come early to grab a beverage and snack.
