Presented in partnership with We Met in Miami, Miami Sound Space, and Lift From Loss, this special evening will feature soothing sound healing with the Miami Sound Space Threshold Singers, meaningful small-group conversations about grief and loss, and opportunities to connect with others through shared experiences.
Come as you are, share as much or as little as you’d like, and experience the comfort and connection that can come from music, conversation, and community.
This event is for adults ages 21 and older. Free pizza will be available while supplies last.
