SUMMARY:Meditation Mondays
DESCRIPTION:You are welcome here. We sit not to flee the world\, but to return to it softer\, sharper\, more present—together in the warmth of community.\n\n\nWith over twenty-five years of shared practice\, Mamalaika Hart and Noelle Warford invite you to gather in stillness at One Art Community Center in West Philly. \nEach week\, our community sits becomes a gentle return—to posture\, to silence\, to the rhythm of breath. Together\, we practice arriving in our bodies and the present moment\, meeting whatever arises with curiosity\, compassion\, and care. \nThis is an invitation to build sangha—a circle of practice where we show up for ourselves and for one another\, week after week. For those seeking a commitment to quiet the mind and sit with all that is present\, this is your place. \nWe sit together to sharpen our collective focus—to be fully here\, awake and embodied\, in a time that asks everything of us. \nBring a cushion if you like. No experience or equipment needed. Donations are welcome and help support this community space and the equipment provided.

SUMMARY:"Possession: Body\, Memory\, Home " Gallery at Scribe
DESCRIPTION:Opening Reception: Friday\, July 24\, 4 – 6:30 PM \nThis exhibit brings together the work of artists Jihan Thomas\, Efi Green\, and Linda Fernandez in an exhibition exploring healing\, identity\, and self-possession through deeply personal visual language. Across painting\, mixed media\, abstraction\, and symbolism\, the artists transform experiences of grief\, motherhood\, migration\, mental health\, and cultural memory into spaces of reflection and resilience. Rooted in vivid color\, expressive gesture\, and layered storytelling\, Possession considers home not only as a physical place\, but as something carried within the body\, memory\, and spirit. Together\, these works affirm art’s power to hold vulnerability\, transformation\, and collective care in times of uncertainty. \nFREE \nThe exhibition will be on view at Scribe Video Center Monday through Friday\, 11:00 AM – 6:00 PM\, from July 24 to September 12. \nThe Gary Smalls Gallery Project at Scribe is curated by Tamara Mason.

SUMMARY:Philly Stake
DESCRIPTION:Philly Stake is a microgranting event that supports creative\, community-engaged projects. Attendees enjoy a locally-sourced meal prepared by Stake volunteers and decide who receives the funding. \nPhilly Stake first brought Philadelphians together in 2010 and ran through 2016. Ten years later\, on the 250th anniversary of our country\, it’s back to celebrate the ingenuity and benevolence of our fine City! \nOver the years\, Philly Stake provided seed money to more than 16 community projects — many of which you may know and love today: the Monkey and the Elephant Café\, RAIR\, the West Philly Tool Library\, Warrior Writers\, and others. We hosted between 150 and 250 people at venues across the city\, from Bartram’s Garden to the First Unitarian Church basement to the Ukie Club. \nAs an all volunteer-run project\, proceeds from ticket sales go directly to the grantees\, to support the event costs and to help fund subsequent events.
