Open Mic: Recuerdos del Alma
Día de Los Muertos is a time to celebrate our families and loved ones, whether they’re alive or no longer with us. Are there conversations you weren’t able to have or didn’t want to have that now weigh on your soul? How do you connect with your ancestors and previous generations? Together we will create a space to reflect on and acknowledge our emotions, relationships (including those that are broken or no lost), and definitions of love and how we receive it.

Open Mic: Lugares
Lugares--Different spaces in our lives can make us feel in different ways, like a sense of belonging, loss, resentment, missing, comfort, love, etc. What are some spaces that you care about? How does that place make you feel? Or maybe it is a place you have not been to, a place you wish to see. Come share and/or listen to stories, poetry, memories, music, artwork, and dances!
