Sanctuary Sessions
Thoughts & Actions during COVID-19
We hope that you, your loved ones, friends, and neighbors are staying safe and healthy during this unprecedented, universal virus. We hope that all who are suffering - whether near or distant - recover quickly and completely. Those staying at home, and those working in the front lines, thank you for doing this for others. We are a we. In this time of uncertainty, anxiety, and suffering, we each are affected differently. To guide us, we have reached out to a group of amazing artists to spatially not socially distance.
