This Valentine's Day, we are gathering together to honor a love that knows no borders.
Join us for a heart-centered evening of restorative yoga and an immersive sound journey in solidarity with immigrant communities and families facing deportation.
In a world where survival keeps us living in fear, we choose rest as resistance and contribution to those doing the hands on work of supporting local immigrant communities.
Through gentle supported postures, the healing vibrations of sound bowls, and collective intention, we create space to soften, to grieve, to breathe and to remember every body deserves safety, diginity and belonging.
To attend this night of Love Without Borders, you can donate directly to the Washington Immigrant Solidarity Network (WAISN) Fair Fight Bond Fund.
The WAISN is a network built by immigrants for immigrants. They believe that everyone--no matter where they came from or what language they speak--deserves to feel safe, respected, and able to thrive.
Cost: Suggested donation $35 (or other heartfelt amount that fits your ability to contribute) to WAISN as your contribution for attendance. If you are unable to attend but would like to make a donation we appreciate that as well!
