SUMMARY:FACING GRIEF: Nourishing Ourselves and Others Through Loss
DESCRIPTION:The Nov. 5 performance at 4pm will have live captioning to a screen.\nThe Nov. 7 performance at 7pm will has ASL interpretation.\nAll other accommodation requests should be made by Oct. 20. \nMany of us don’t know what to say or do when a loved one experiences profound grief. Through live theatrical enactments of various scenarios\, audiences are invited to practice reacting to loss and supporting those they love. \nOur brains are wired for survival\, not loss\, creating significant challenges in the aftermath of profound grief. FACING GRIEF\, a presentation of The Sapphire Theatre’s award-winning PICTURE THIS® applied theatre programming\, engages improvisational actors to act out brief scenarios. Staying in character\, they “break the fourth wall” for an interactive talk back with the audience at the crisis point of each scene. Society and the community can do better for those who are hurting. Theatre can help show the way by allowing participants to practice how to have hard conversations\, hold space\, and listen. Musicians\, interfaith ministers\, educators\, counselors and other subject matter experts will help facilitate this event. \nFACING GRIEF will also be performed twice on November 5 at Unity Indianapolis. The 11:30am performance will follow a specially-themed worship service (10am) that all are welcome to attend! A second performance is scheduled for 4pm. FACING GRIEF will be performed a final time on Nov. 7 at the Phoenix Theatre. If interested in these other performances\, please return to the event calendar and register for those dates/times. \nQuestions? Contact 317-966-7529 or andrea@sapphiretheatre.com \nEvent Partners: Sapphire Theatre Co.; Phoenix Theatre Cultural Center; Unity of Indianapolis; Jon Swanson\, PhD.; Deandra Dycus; and Congregation Beth-El Zedeck. \nEvent Registration: Registration requested by Nov. 3\, but walk-ins are welcome as space permits.

SUMMARY:Delicious Silence: Cooking\, Eating\, & Community Care without Saying a Word
DESCRIPTION:SOLD OUT.\nASL Upon Request. \nPrepare lunch with a group of strangers and eat it together\, all in silence. Afterwards\, reflect\, via facilitated mindful dialogue\, on your communal experience and what it means to nourish and be nourished. \nSilent practice is a cornerstone of Zen Buddhism. At its heart\, Zen meditation practice is returning to ease in the body and ease in breathing\, allowing one to turn towards whatever they are experiencing. Participants will experience the effects of living this way for a short time and then reflect on their experience through a facilitated mindful dialogue at the end of the meal. In this way\, we hope participants will have the opportunity to explore what it means to nourish and be nourished on many levels\, beyond words and concepts\, through the collective experience of making a meal and consuming it together in perfect silence. \nQuestions? Contact 317-296-4540 or hello@indycommunityyoga.org \nEvent Partners: Indy Community Yoga\, The Indianapolis Zen Center\, and Indy’s Kitchen. \nEvent Registration: Registration required by Oct. 20.  Due to the nature of this event\, we cannot accommodate walk-in guests. \nAudience Note: After an orientation to silent practice and kitchen safety (overseen by professional kitchen staff)\, participants will prepare\, consume\, and clean up together in silence. Food allergies/sensitivities or accommodations needed to participate in the meal preparation should be communicated the organizers in the registration form. \nDonations: Donations are not expected but are warmly accepted to help us cover the costs of fresh ingredients\, facility rental\, and the labor of a professional kitchen staff person. Those costs evenly divided amongst participants amount to $30 per person. Thank you for any level of support and your sincere participation in Delicious Silence.
