Like you, In the Heart of the Beast has been processing the recent events in
Minneapolis. We feel the desperation of our community, and long to find ways of
coming together, to hold space, to find peace.
We know you care about what is happening in our neighborhoods, too, and wanted
to extend a [personal] invitation to join us at a few upcoming events that we
see as a direct response to the events surrounding us.
VOICES FOR PEACE present THE TIME IS NOW. Experience an all-women’s choir
formed to connect music with a quest for peace and justice. This choir is a
vehicle to inspire and encourage others to live more peacefully and to work in
their own ways to further the causes of justice and peace. All funds raised
will go towards the development of QUEEN - Sept 9, 2016 (There will also be a
bake sale!!!)

QUEEN explores the grief of a woman who has lost a grandson to gun violence.
This production provides an opportunity to come together in conversation about
the violence around us. "Grandmother is a force of earned warriorhood and
sensual wildness. Who better to lead us as a protagonist into the wildwood of
the soul that grief baptizes us in? Who better to be transcended into the
lushness of her own sweetness and rebirth?" -Junauda Petrus, playwright for
QUEEN - September 23 – October 2, 2016
