Imagine a group 30-100+ folks in a circle, singing… together. The song leader teaches easy to learn songs in an acapella style and the group echoes them back. These songs are sung together collectively as invitations to move stagnated emotions in the body and to be in our bodies as we notice what arises for us as we sing together. Ahlay offers a 2 hour container invoking connection that serves as a catalyst to discuss + sit with taboo topics in our culture and movements for collective liberation.
This is the second in a three part series hosted by Alexandra "ahlay" Blakely (see the other events below) of song circles held monthly at Ballard Homestead. This month Ahlay invites friend Shireen Amini to share songs with her.
Each month 50% of proceeds (after labor costs) will go to our selected local org. This month is La Resistencia.
About La Resistencia: La Resistencia is a grassroots organization led by undocumented immigrants based in Washington State working to end the detention of immigrants and stop deportations. Originally founded in 2014 to support a hunger strike launched by people detained in Tacoma, Washington to protest their confinement, La Resistencia began under the umbrella of the national #Not1More campaign as “NWDC Resistance.” Today, La Resistencia members support and engage with people detained at the Northwest Detention Center in Tacoma, Washington who organize for their own survival and in protest against the detention and deportation regime. We are a grassroots immigrant led group that organizes across the prison barrier. Our goal is to shut down the NWDC, and to end all detention and deportation in Washington State.
