Talking While Female: Storytelling Sessions

We are taking it virtual and national with three original, fresh-pressed, stories, each will be accompanied by a visual artist's interpretation of the story LIVE as we the viewers experience it. This month’s theme is SAGE (Season 4 Episode 3)

Ensemble member Christina Igaraividez serves as special guest host and will be guiding us through the evening along with surprise 1-minute live story presenters.

Connecting through stories, histories, and futures has always been the foundation of our healing practice both in person and digitally. We launched this Season 1 of Talking While Female Storytelling Sessions in 2018 with a desire to connect in person, in our new artistic home in Boyle Heights. As we continue our 20 year history of shaping our own narratives, this anniversary year we ask you to celebrate together by inviting us into your home. Watch these gifted artists with us December 10, 2020.

Featuring Alexandra Meda and Alex Maria Beech

You are invited to interact throughout the evening in the chat and with the artists. Storytelling is an act of resistance and documentation. Our experiences will not be erased.

All sales go directly to individual artists. RSVP to save your Zoom seat now, see you there!

Vision Board With Us January 23rd from 7-10pm

Every new year comes with it the pressure to hustle, be your best self, and GRIND GRIND GRIND. That is awesome and works for some people, but others need to spend January defining their goals and dreaming about what is next in a different manner. Whichever camp you land in, come spend some time with your goals and dreams and create a vision board that will help you through all of 2019 by reminding you what you thought was most important and would help you arrive at your desired outcome.

We will bring the magazines (don’t hesitate to bring more if you want!), snacks, and a fresh new cork board for you, so join us while we will learn some tips, tricks, and get some inspo for our 2019 Vision Boards! All you have to do is bring you and your three best friends or accountability partners ;)

Tickets are $30 and include the cost of your board, your snacks, materials, and facilitator
