You are Invited! Please share.

Hello friends and family,

Please join me May 15th from 3-5pm at The Old Lantern for a free "funraising" event, Dance for Resilience. This event hopes to bring awareness and support to The Vermont Ibutwa Initiative! The Ibutwa Initiative's mission is to work with the women and children of South Kivu who have suffered sexual violence, to help them heal, and to rebuild their lives. For more information on their work visit www.vibi-ibutwa.org.

As in many cultures dance is a way for communities to come together, connect, heal and share. The thought around this event is to blend Congolese music and dance with Nia dance (a combination of dance arts, healing arts, and martial arts), uniting us in resilience for the women of the Eastern Congo. We have created this event not to dwell on the atrocities but to celebrate that we can make a difference!

Thank you to Yoga Roots, South End Studio, Localvore Today and Vermont Farm Table for their sponsorship! Also a special thank you to The Old Lantern, Top Hat Entertainment, Tretap and EvanWebsterINK!

I hope you will join me! 

With Gratitude,

Lynn
