Peaceful Holidays

Sunday, November 22 // Doors at 1:30 PM // Show at 2:00 PM // $10-35 Sliding Scale- Pick What You Pay Do the upcoming holidays make you feel more stressed than blessed? If the commercialism, family dynamics, or freezing temps get you down, you’re not alone! Lots of people have a hard time around the holidays. That’s why we’re coming together to make it easier to feel peace during this busy season. Through storytelling, short and secular guided meditations, gentle movement, music, and community conversations, we’ll explore ways to find inner peace. You won’t need any prior experience or to believe in anything, just show up as you are. You’ll leave the event with a better understanding of how inner peace really works and a toolbox of techniques for creating inner ease. Your host for this event, Juniper, has over 25 years of experience with mindfulness and meditation, and other local peace teachers will also share their wisdom. Whether you love the holidays or they make you feel more Grinch than giving, this event will help you move through this season with more ease and resilience. This special event is presented by: Pause for Peace & Satigri

Stories of Home

Friday, September 25 // Doors open at 6 PM // Documentary storytelling followed by a panel session at 6:30 PM // Free Admission, All Are Welcome As a part of The Month of Welcome join us for an inspiring evening as refugees and immigrants in the Missoula community share what home means to them! “What does home mean to you?” This simple question can spark a profound journey of reflection, especially for those who have experienced displacement or migration. Here in Missoula, the refugee and immigrant neighbors bring rich tapestries of experiences that redefine the concept of home. For the 6th consecutive year, Soft Landing Missoula’s Stories of Home project invites us to explore the diverse and nuanced meanings of home. We delve into the homes left behind and the new ones forged; the homes we aspire to build and those that live on in our memories; the homes found in physical spaces and those discovered in the embrace of community. Stories of Home will be presented through a series of documentary shorts. We’ll share the stories of individuals who have made Missoula their new home after journeying here as refugees and immigrants. The highlight of our gathering will be a moderated panel session with project participants. This intimate dialogue, combined with powerful visual narratives, aims to amplify the voices of our new neighbors and illuminate the universal experiences that connect us all – regardless of where we call home. Check out the past 5 years of the Stories of Home project to read stories from refugees and immigrants. This presentation is being recorded by Missoula Community Access Television as part of a Media Assistance Grant donated to Soft Landing Missoula organization by MCAT.
