Kuumba means “Creativity” in Swahili. and is the 6th principle of Kwanzza which encourages us "To do always as much as we can, in the way we can, in order to leave our community more beautiful and beneficial than we inherited it." (Click here to learn more about Kwanzza & Kuumba)

The Collaborative Art session will be the act of playing in a giant zen garden. comprised of sand, seeds, shells, and more, with a rake and spade. Pouring our thoughts and feelings into the art, at the end of the event we will reset the garden, reminding us that emotions can be fleeting or stagnant and we get to choose how long they stay with us. We learn that we are always co-creating experiences, even when we feel alone.

.

A moderated Collective Discussion on the topic “Revolutionary Love” is set to  encourage ideas and feelings around modern love dynamics within the turbulent times we live in. Do we hold fast to preserve culture? Do we evolve with the times? What can history teach us about community within love dynamics? What even is love? Folks are welcome to contribute or just listen in if they prefer.

.

We culminate the evening with an Open Mic to release and express the energy we generated. Further sharing our experiences and perspectives.  You want to sign up please do so in advance if you can and let us know your performance needs. CLICK HERE to SIGN UP
