We are excited to invite you all to T-shirt Making beyond your Galaxy, first event of the Week of Cultural Resistance!
As living beings, we all live in our own world with our own galaxy. In this workshop we will channel our innerself and paint our own galaxy onto t-shirts. This workshop will be a place to destress, discover and explore!
We are asking for all the folks who are planning to attend PLEASE bring a black t-shirt, it doesn’t matter if it’s a little old because you will be transforming it. If you do not have a spare black t-shirt please bring in whatever you can because we will have other cool side projects to do. Your galaxy and t-shirt will be special regardless. We will be providing necessary art supplies and potentially have extra cloth squares for artwork. As a warning this event may be potentially messy so please wear clothing that you are comfortable getting a little dirty.
And of course there will be PIZZA!!!
SEE YOU ALL THERE ♥
Monday, March 7 2pm - 4pm @ the MCC

The experience of life holds with it the inevitable experience of trauma. It comes from no specific angle, intergenerational, sexual, identity-based, family-based, but always has the same, consistent result: it hardens any that it comes into contact with. This moment of encounter(s) alters the body, which then molds itself in an attempt to re-shape, re-create, and re-define what it means to "be" after a traumatic experience. While perserverance thereafter can encourage strength, it can also forestall healing.
Join the Multicultural Community Center on Tuesday, March 8th as we open a discussion around trauma and the practice of self-care. While we acknowledge that the concept of healing is an arduous process with no fixed end date, we want to create a space where the first steps can be taken to explore useful tools towards self-care, a vital ingredient to thrive.
