Colorado Springs: Joyful resistance

Joyful Resistance in the Park
Description:
Join us for a joyful, family-friendly gathering in the park! Bring a dish to share for our potluck, enjoy music (live when possible, or speakers for now), dance, and celebrate a spirit of joyful resistance together.
This is a space to connect, share ideas, and imagine sustainable ways to resist tyranny, all while enjoying good food, good music, and good company. No formal program—just a casual, welcoming gathering where families and community members can come together.
What to Bring:
A potluck dish to share
Your energy, ideas, and joy!
Optional instruments or music if you want to contribute
Let’s gather, dance, eat, and inspire one another in creative, peaceful, and joyful resistance.

In times like these, anger, grief, and fear are natural—and necessary—emotions. Rage & Renewal is a safe space for adults and older teens to express these feelings openly and without shame, sharing stories, poetry, music, and experiences in response to the political and social climate.
This is not about forced positivity. It’s about honoring our pain, processing our rage, and finding ways to transform it into constructive energy and action. By confronting difficult emotions together, we strengthen our resilience, deepen our connections, and create a foundation for meaningful change.
What to Expect:
A grounding opening ritual to settle into the space
Opportunities to share personal experiences, art, poetry, or music
Guided reflection on channeling emotions into positive action
A supportive community atmosphere where all feelings are valid
Join us to express, process, and transform—because true joyful resistance comes from facing the storm, not ignoring it.
