A Conversation with Angel Raphael

with Kelly Kolodney

Friday, June 14th, 7:30pm

Raphael is guaranteed to...

Open your heart, make you laugh, make you cry, shed light on your past, get you centered in the present, bring you into the flow, and help you create the joy and abundance you deserve in your life!

In group sessions, Raphael's message is that we are all ONE! It is imperative we all wake up to this fact to ensure that we experience the maximum amount of love available to us in this lifetime. If we continue to act as though we are all isolated individuals, we will continue to cause greater and greater problems on the planet until the repercussions are great enough to snap us out of our delusion.

Kelly Sheehy Kolodney has brought the vibration and message of the angel Raphael to thousands of people over the past 23 years. Through her unique gift of channeling, she has helped many people discover their life's purpose and address the challenges that hold them back from achieving it. This process has enabled many people to break free of their old patterns and to create the abundance and joy they deserve.

Because this event is so well attended, please carpool when possible.

Movie Screening + Q&A: "Standing on My Sisters' Shoulders"

with Joan Sadoff

Saturday, June 15th, 4:30pm

Join us for a screening of the award-winning documentary produced by our own Sherry Hanck's mother, Joan Sadoff!!

“Standing On My Sisters’ Shoulders” takes on the Civil Rights movement in Mississippi in the 1950’s and 60’s from the point of view of the courageous women who lived it – and emerged as its grassroots leaders. These women stood up and fought for the right to vote and the right to an equal education. They not only brought about change in Mississippi, but they altered the course of American history.

This documentary presents original interviews with many of the Civil Rights movement’s most remarkable women: Unita Blackwell, a sharecropper turned activist, who became Mississippi’s first female black mayor; Mae Bertha Carter, a mother of 13, whose children became the first to integrate the Drew County schools against dangerous opposition; white student activist Joan Trumpauer Mulholland who not only participated in sit-ins but took a stand on integration by attending an all black university; Annie Devine and Victoria Gray Adams, who, along with Fannie Lou Hamer, stepped up and challenged the Democratic Party and President Johnson at the 1964 Convention.

After the screening, enjoy a Q&A with producer Joan Sadoff.
