Collective Sharing

Video Screening of Dara's work
This will be a space to share words and memories, pictures and videos, songs and jokes. The sharing portion will be much like the Quaker tradition that Dara held dear—people sitting together and speaking publicly when they are moved to do so. In addition there will be plenty of time for casual small group discussion and sharing throughout the afternoon.
