Next250 is an opportunity to reflect honestly on our history while also declaring the future we want to build together. The first 250 years were shaped by systems built by people\, and those systems can be reshaped by people.As we witness the ongoing erosion of voting rights\, attacks on civil liberties\, the targeting of immigrants and marginalized communities\, and growing efforts to divide and silence our people\, we know this moment requires all of us to come together with courage\, clarity\, and collective action.

SUMMARY:PA_SE: A Space for U
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE\nSunday\, May 17th\, 202610am-11amHybrid/Studio on 3 \nIn a world where we are constantly striving to be seen\, to be heard\, to love\, and to belong\, it has become essential to PA_SE. As much as we are called to rise up\, make good trouble\, and fight for what matters\, it is just as necessary—if not more so—to PA_SE. PA_SE is a space for U to rest your mind\, re-energize your body\, and reconnect with your soul. It is an embodied meditative experience that weaves together stream-of-consciousness journaling with somatic practices designed to calm the nervous system and awaken the body’s energy centers. This process creates space for U to be seen and heard—by U. To meet yourself with unconditional love.To rediscover a sense of belonging within your own body. As the mind turns toward the body\, it begins to trust something deeper than itself. It softens. It unwinds. It releases its stories into the wisdom of the body.When you PA_SE\, you rise again—with a mind at ease\, a body renewed\, and the embodied knowing that what you fight for is already within U. \n  \nREGISTER HERE
