Facilitated by Sarah Gish

Suggested Love Offering $10 at the door

Join us for a special event in the Unity Pyramid created by artist Sarah Gish, whose show is currently on view in the Unity Art Gallery.

This community celebration of life and death provides space for deep contemplation, connection with others, self-caring, and joyful living. The gathering includes music, activities, a labyrinth walk, meditation, energy healing, poetry, and art.

The facilitated World Labyrinth Day Walk for Healing Broken Hearts begins at 1 pm. The Last Breath discussion includes a death doula, a funeral home director, a medium, and a grief counselor.

In addition to the scheduled events, self-guided activities will include art- making inspired by Val Kilmer (one of the subjects in the show), prompts from quotes for paired discussions, hand-held labyrinths for finger walking, writing your life story and more. The labyrinth will be available for self-guided walking all afternoon.

In addition, a massage therapist, Reiki Master, and energy healer will be on hand for celebrating life. Other resources include an attorney who specializes in end-of-life documents and resources for navigating grief and loss.

The event will close out with a 30-minute live harp performance and bubbles!
