Community Events San Francisco

### Spirit · Singing · Ceremony with Kid Beyond *In-person only* **SOULSONG** is a new kind of spiritual community — where meditation and dharma meet singing and ceremony. Dharma teacher / songleader Kid Beyond will offer a soul-nurturing alchemy of meditation, reflection, and group singing — with songs of love and joy… tenderness and connection… gratitude and inspiration. Together, in loving community, we can let our hearts open wide — deeply embodied, vibrantly alive. You don’t need to be a “good singer” or a “good meditator.” The songs and practices are easy to learn. All voices, bodies, and hearts are welcome. **Kid Beyond** is a dharma teacher, soul singer, songleader, and soul guide. He is devoted to helping hearts open to love, aliveness, wisdom, and healing. Trained and authorized by Spirit Rock, in the Thai Forest lineage of Buddhism, he has guided thousands of students in his classes, workshops, and retreats. He has taught mindfulness in the US Congress; led the SF County Jail’s meditation and yoga program; guided adults and teens at Spirit Rock; led the weekly Heart Camp sangha for 6 years; taught mindful men’s groups; and served as a Fitbit Mindfulness Advisor, bringing well-being practices to corporations, the military, and government. His Love Warrior music has riveted audiences worldwide — playing festivals such as Coachella and SXSW, and opening for James Brown, Ray Charles, Michael Franti, Imogen Heap, LL Cool J, and many more. He has led song circles and workshops in vocal exploration and embodiment for over 30 years. **[kidbeyond.com](http://kidbeyond.com) · [Instagram](https://instagram.com/kidbeyond/) · [Facebook](http://facebook.com/kidbeyond)**

End Experimentation on Dogs: SF March for the COMPACT Act

Sat, Oct 24, 9:00 PM

4.9

We have a historic opportunity to bring real change to the tens of thousands of dogs and cats being experimented on in laboratories across the United States. Congress has just introduced the COMPACT Act (Companion Animal Protection Against Cruel Testing Act) to end federal support for dog and cat experiments. It would even re-home many of the animals currently living in laboratory cages. However, there is not much time to get this passed before the end of the year. We need to make our voices heard so our government knows that their constituents want this bill to be prioritized. Join us in marching through the streets of San Francisco to advocate for our four-legged friends, raise awareness, and show our congresspeople where we stand. Everyone is welcome and please invite your friends! **WHEN:** Saturday, October 24 at 2 pm **WHERE:** UN Plaza, San Francisco Direct Action Everywhere (DxE) is a grassroots network of animal rights activists. Through open rescue, demonstration, and disruption, we help build a world where every animal is safe, happy and free. DxE cultivates a welcoming and supportive community.
