IRL-Bring Your Human
Everyone is Welcome to come to Walnut West Library this Saturday for a community celebration IRL. This is not just an event for the #bestcollegehouse, this is an event for our broad community. Free Tickets here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/bring-your-human-tickets-1983478211725 West Phialdelphia Sanctuary will be co-hosting Jan Jeffries and the Eleone Dance Theater. Plan to come and plan to move. Population Health Council and All in Media will be there too. You will be asked to dance, smile, and laugh. Come celebrate how live music, movement, and community changes health and lives. In these times of social isolation and AI, our 'Bring Your Human' event is geared to entertain and engage with live music and movement, and invite us all to tap into our capacity for fun, community, and healing. We have international musician Jan Jefferies and folks from Eleone Dance Theatre coming out to build with us, plus tons of wellness resources from partner community organizations, and food and refreshments to enjoy.
