SUMMARY:Axolotl: The Regeneration of a Woman’s Heart
DESCRIPTION:ASL Interpretation provided by IU Indianapolis’s American Sign Language/English Interpreting Program students \nInspired by nature’s great regenerator—the Axolotl—this evening of original music and spoken word explores trauma\, healing\, and renewal through the lens of a woman’s heart. Join artist Tamra Rose and authors Eva Williams and Lacey Beatty for an intimate and hope-filled performance that invites us to reflect on nature’s wisdom and our own capacity to heal. \nExplore the nature of hope and healing through music\, literature\, and the axolotl. The axolotl is a salamander that never undergoes the typical metamorphosis into its terrestrial form\, remaining water-bound for life. Remarkably\, it can regenerate diseased or injured parts of its body—including limbs\, brain\, and heart. Seen through the lens of womanhood\, the axolotl becomes a metaphor for those who have endured trauma yet continue to survive and even flourish—blossoming into the fullness of who they were created to be. \nCounseling resources available. \nQuestions? Contact 317-509-5305 or booktamrarose@gmail.com. \nEvent Organizers: A partnership between Tamra Rose and My Sister’s Keeper. \nRegistration: Click here to register.

SUMMARY:POSTPONED - 12 Moods of Heaven: A Neo-Soul Food & Jazz Journey through the Great Migration
DESCRIPTION:Announcement From Grand Griot Productions (11/11/25):\n“After much reflection and with deep regret\, the creative team made the difficult decision to delay the production following a recent bereavement and several health-related challenges within the ensemble.” Ticket refunds are available to all patrons and 12 Moods of Heaven hopes to premiere in March 2026. Sign up for the Spirit & Place newsletter to learn when a new date is confirmed. \nLimited Capacity. Registration Required  |  $30/pp \nJoin us for a multi-sensory culinary and cultural experience exploring the nature of movement—of people\, traditions\, and food across this nation. Rooted in the Great Migration\, this event honors the resilience of Soul Food and the African American diaspora through jazz\, spoken word\, spiritual reflection\, and food samplings. \nThe art of Soul Food is grounded in nature—the ability to take the miracle of soil and transform it into a feast! It is also rooted in the ability to adapt amid hardship. Constant change is no easy task. Our African American ancestors took scraps and turned them into a living testimony of resilience. Their ingenuity is no fable of “making something out of nothing\,” but is a demonstration of their creativity\, worth\, and lasting impact on American food and artistic culture. Weaving together music\, gratitude\, and praise to God\, this event fuses history\, art\, faith\, and culinary excellence to celebrate all that is nourishing about the very nature of soul food. \n\nDoors open at 4:30 pm\nPrelude begins 4:45 pm\nEvent from 5pm-6:30pm\nTalk Back from 6:35-7:30\n\nQuestions? Contact 317-531-5752 or email grandgriotpro@gmail.com. \nEvent Organizers: A partnership between Grand Griot Productions LLC\, Witherspoon Presbyterian Church\, Chef Oya\, Rob Dixon & many more. \nRegistration: Click here to register. \n \n
