Join us for a special concert of original sacred music to free your imagination and open your heart to the celestial sounds of the Celtic harp. Christine Tulis will share songs inspired by the poetry of Rumi, other mystical saints, and her personal inner experiences. 

In the sacred geometry of the Commonweal Labyrinth—designed and built by alumni of our Commonweal Cancer Help Program—discover how the simple act of placing one foot before the other becomes a meditation on patience, trust, and letting go.

Join us as we explore the medicine we need for the Long Dark, the medicine we bring to the Long Dark, and surprisingly, the medicine we find in the Long Dark. The event will include a reading from Francis, a conversation between Francis and Jaune, and a participatory grief ritual for the community.
