Everyone should try the amazing Somalian restaurant, Sogal, on MLK. So inexpensive and sooooo good.

So grateful I got to co host a meditation circle with Chloe. It was community. It was healing. She plans on doing more of them, look out MKE.


We did a lesson on Chakras, and a Chakra cleansing meditation. we then got back together as a group, wrote and reflected together. amazing conversation with amazing people. Peoples Bookstore, Riverwest

Jay and I hosted a an art party/house show/ my final going away. He got together a live band, and I got together a group of artists, and while the band played improvised music the artists painted on the spot to what they heard. Such a beautiful night, and I am so grateful to have had my goodbyes with all of my people be so beautiful. Just wow. More of this to come.  And when I get more photos of this night I will do a separate post on it. Def one of the best events I have ever been to in Milwaukee. 

I will close with a  simple statement.



Love.

Paper making with Peace Paper. They do amazing paper making workshops all over the world. They also do something called "panty pulping", where victims of assault come and bring the clothes they were assaulted in, cut them up, pulp it and make it into paper. Check them out at http://www.peacepaperproject.org
