About the Show:
Stepping out our bubbles can be hard. Nationally Touring Comedian, Krish Mohan is exploring bubble culture and the current divide in today’s political climate. He uses his sharp wit & uses storytelling and comedy to illustrate how race, identity politics, and misunderstanding progressivism has led to splitting us apart. He explores Native American culture, reforming education and western culture’s obsession with extremism, war and violence – all of which pushes us further into our bubbles. Find out if he can figure out how we can get out of our bubbles! This show won the “Audience Choice” Award at the 2018 Pittsburgh Fringe Festival!

About Krish:
Krish Mohan is a socially conscious, Indian standup comedian and writer who regularly tours the country. He performs at small theaters, bars, comedy clubs, colleges, DIY and house venues. With his quirky attitude, charming personality, and intelligent humor, Krish captivates and engages audiences of all backgrounds, tackling hot button topics like race, religion, war, immigration, while adding an optimistic, philosophical & sociological twist!

Are you feeling overly stressed in your rescue work?

Compassion Fatigue is a problem that is commonly seen among caregivers. Because their work puts them in situations where they often observe suffering, it is not unusual to see some of our most skilled, caring, and compassionate “helpers” fall victim to compassion fatigue.

Please join Maria Stine for a workshop about the importance of managing stress related to animal welfare and rescue work. Her therapy practice, The Compassion Project, is committed to supporting people who care about animals. Her presentation will share helpful knowledge that will enlighten, support and advise us in our rescue work.

This event is open to the public and although it is geared towards animal rescue, there is sure to be helpful insight for everyone.

For more info contact Angela, [email protected].

When reflecting on the current state of the environment, it seems that we have entered into times of seismic sorrows. Carbon emissions, water pollution, fracking, and changing climate patterns all point to a troubling reality with serious consequences for human and non-human populations. Through weavings, installations, sculpture, and print, artists Rena Detrixhe and Tali Weinberg (Tulsa, OK) explore the complex relationship between humans and the planet, offering insights, expressing grief, and creating space for resilience and change.

In Time of Seismic Sorrows is curated by Marilyn Zapf and organized by the Center for Craft. The Center for Craft is supported in part by the N.C. Arts Council, a division of the Department of Natural and Cultural Resources.

We don’t want to just remember Dr. King’s dream but walk in the way he walked and teach our children to do so! Tomorrow, we will talk about how to make a family justice commitment that will help you engage in the movement as a family throughout the year!

In moderation, coffee & yoga can coexist as a part of a healthy routine.

Next, enjoy a gentle, therapeutic deep stretching flow that will open the heart, lengthen the muscles and ease the hamstrings, hips and lower back.

End your practice with an essential oil infused savasana that encourages an inspirational morning.

We can’t wait to see you! ✨ All are welcome!
