Join us for an evening of community, reflection, and action.

We'll hear firsthand from Sandra Adler Killen, a local lactation consultant who recently returned from her third month long medical mission in Gaza, where she worked with newborns and mothers facing unimaginable conditions. Sandra is in touch with her collegues in Gaza on a daily base and will share first hand accounts of what is happening on the ground and how we an help.

This gathering is a fundraiser for the Gaza Infant Nutrition Alliance, the initiative Sandra partnered with to support medics and mothers on the ground in Gaza. Donations are accepted through , the NGO facilitating this critical relief work.

This is also a space to come together, hold our collective grief, and explore how we can meaningfully show up in response to the ongoing humanitarian crisis.

๐Ÿ’› All proceeds go directly to Doctors Worldwide in support of the Gaza Infant Nutrition Alliance. You can donate directly at:

Earlier that day: (12:00โ€“5:30 p.m.)If you feel called to healing and community care, we invite you to join us earlier in the day for Renewal, a separate wellness gathering in the same space. It includes healing sessions, vendors, and workshops on grief, bodywork, and astrology.

At 4:00 p.m., Renewal will feature a powerful workshop with Elizabeth Scott:

Until Palestine is Free: Healing Ourselves and Healing the WorldThis workshop supports those whose hearts suffer with the people of Palestine.

We will explore:

  • The mental health impact of witnessing ongoing genocide
  • Resources to help us move through despair, anger, and paralysis
  • Practices to connect with our deepest values of justice and solidarity
  • Meditation for remembering our interconnectedness and humanity
  • Building community through grief, courage, and love

This is a space to face the heartbreak and transform it into brave, moral action.
