About this Event
Join us at the next in reclaiming the ancestral technology of a village — a collective structure that can sustain, support, and uplift us while simultaneously reminding us of our greater purpose.
As the summer season continues to slowly slip itself off to reveal autumn, how can we maintain and/or develop systems rooted in care, support, and nurturance? In what ways can we come together to better support ourselves and one another? In this time of harvesting and gathering roots, how can we slow down to cultivate deeper practices of shared collective abundance and flourish together?
Come tell us for yourself, and please remember your art — ALL art is welcome.
“In a gift economy, wealth is understood as having enough to share, and the practice for dealing with abundance is to give it away. In fact, status is determined not by how much one accumulates, but by how much one gives away. The currency in a gift economy is relationship, which is expressed as gratitude, as interdependence and the ongoing cycles of reciprocity. A gift economy nurtures the community bonds that enhance mutual well-being; the economic unit is “we” rather than “I,” as all flourishing is mutual.”
― Robin Wall Kimmerer
what is ?
naked. is an open mic night that reclaims art as a spiritual and healing practice. it’s a fluid space for community to practice vulnerability, intimacy, and curiosity with one another. referred to as "the open mic without a mic," naked. stands apart from other open mic nights in that there’s no mic or stage, it's rooted in community building and exchange and lastly, ALL forms of art are welcome.
originally created in New Orleans in February 2018, those who attend are invited to be vulnerable, or naked—free from the armor and masks often worn to navigate the world, in a space that asks:
if you could be naked, without judgment, how would you show up? what would you say? what would you share?
