Join artist-in-residence Jenna Knapp and collaborator Sevan Sevan Arabajian-Ries for June’s Full Moon in Sagittarius. This full moon honors curiosity, truth-seeking, and expansion and invites us to release limitations, follow wonder, and reconnect with our inner compass. Under the light of the full moon, take some time out of your week to pause and take notice of all that you’re currently outgrowing, questioning, and longing to explore. Relax into a healing sound bath and sunset candle-lit labyrinth walk.
Sound baths are an ancient form of healing and deep meditation; they include various ambient sounds and frequencies playing in a space where you can hear and experience their vibrations moving through you. Everyone’s experience will be different; unique as you are, and according to what is needed most at the time. Your sound facilitator for the evening will be Milwaukee’s own Sevan Arabajian-Ries, musician, ritualist, spiritual guide, and relational counselor.
The outdoor sound bath lasts approximately 45-60 minutes. We recommend arriving 15 minutes ahead of time to give yourself time to set up and prepare. Please bring something to rest on and to cover yourself with (if you think you’ll want that) for the duration, and dress appropriately for the weather. The labyrinth walk takes place on a hill so please consider comfortable footwear as well. A little insect repellent may be in order, too. Candles are provided and you are invited to bring your own. If it is too cold or raining, we will move the sound bath indoors.

FREE COMMUNITY GRIEF RITUAL
Communal grieving creates a healing power we cannot access in isolation. In community, we are witnessed, validated, and reminded that our grief is not only natural- it is powerful.
As we face ongoing personal and collective losses, worry, fear, rupture, disconnect- we need spaces to process and release together. Hanging on to old pain and lacking avenues of
processing new pain can weigh down our spirit, diminish our joy, stifle our creativity, and reduce our capacity for connection. In some cases, the inability to grieve fully can diminish us entirely.
When we grieve fully, our pain transforms: it becomes fertile ground for healing- for ourselves, our ancestors, and the future we are creating together.
In the spirit of Sobonfu Some, renowned teacher, mentor, and voice on African Spirituality, we offer this 3-Day Ritual to the community, free of charge. Born into the Dagara Tribe of Burkina Faso, Sobonfu was tasked by her elders to bring their rituals to the West. She traveled the world for decades, leading others with deep wisdom, compassion, humor, and great heart.
Grief is a universal human experience, and so this event is open to all humans.
This event will be guided by skilled and experienced facilitators and students of Sobonfu at Villa Arco, a community-minded event venue in Milwaukee’s Walker’s Square.
