Weaving feminism & spirituality into a vision of justice for the world
Sparrows bathe in dust to absorb the oil that would collect on their wings and keep them from flying. This is a reminder, from nature, that healing and wholeness can be found even in the most unlikely places. Kimberly Gaubault (McCrae) is a 20+ year survivor/victim of Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault. Her book, Dust Bunnies and Sparrows: A Poetic Declaration of Liberation from/through Domestic Violence, is how she has chosen to tell her story to break the silence and shame of a truth that has impacted her life in challenging ways, but she has not permitted it to keep her from soaring. Come witness this survivor’s/victim’s declaration of liberation, through poetry and storytelling. The writing workshop portion of our time together will provide tools for writing/telling your story and opportunities to share. The book will be available for purchase for $10, or you can order it on Amazon for $15.
Leader: Kimberly Gaubault (McCrae) is an intentional lover of humanity and actively lives the self-care life about which she teaches and advocates. Her personal philosophy of interpersonal interaction is, “If I’ve not positively influenced someone everywhere I’ve gone, I’ve not walked in my purpose.”
