Beloved Community Rising

An Evening of Connection & Renewal on January 20, 2025

Are you feeling stressed, disappointed, or worried about the future of our country? You're not alone. This MLK Day (1/20/2025), we are creating an intentional space where justice-minded organizers, non-profit workers, and community builders can find strength in solidarity.

Drawing inspiration from Dr. King's vision of the Beloved Community, we're gathering to honor his legacy through meaningful connection and collective care. This special day offers a sanctuary where those dedicated to social change can:

• Share experiences and wisdom in a supportive environment that honors our full humanity

• Explore somatic practices and creative expression to process our collective challenges

• Reimagine possibilities for our communities through collective dreaming and dialogue

Through guided activities, meaningful conversation, and creative exploration, we'll nurture the connections that sustain our work for justice and equity. Together, we'll create space to acknowledge our struggles while rekindling the hope and determination that drives our commitment to positive change.

Culture Tending Commons Equity Statement

We are committed to dismantling systems of oppression and supporting movements for self-determination.

We affirm the inherent worth and dignity of all individuals, centering principles of consent, autonomy, and agency while standing in solidarity with movements for land back, abolition, reparations, labor rights, bodily autonomy, and more.

We believe that true liberation is a collective effort, requiring mutual care and the active co-creation of a just world.
