Peace Vigil

All are welcome to meet at the peace pole in the MIIS garden on November 1 from 12:30 to 1:30 to hold a vigil for peace and honor the lives of those lost in recent conflicts, as well as our other loved ones who have passed away. Nov. 1 is the traditional day to honor the dead in many cultures, known as “Day of the Dead” in Mexico. You’re welcome to bring a photo, a prayer, a poem, flowers. The space is a safe and inclusive space to honor our collective grief and losses. Some flowers will be provided by the KWD Collaborative in Conflict Transformation.
