What's on this fall...

Better than the Birds
​& the Bees

​Sex-Ed for Parents & Caregivers with Pamela Samuelson

6 Week Series Starting November 1

​“In this series, we will discuss how we can honestly and comfortably hold vital conversations with the kids in our lives about bodies, consent, pleasure, sexuality, setting boundaries with kids and adults alike, as well as how we can communicate our needs and perspectives to the other adults in our lives.”

Alchemize
​

Group Exhibition featuring K'era Morgan, Calethia DeConto, and Rosalyn Myles

Opening Reception November 13

"An exploration of creativity in pandemic times, Alchemize features recent work of three Black female mixed media artists based in Los Angeles. In this inaugural exhibition,
in person at Sovern, we get intimate glimpses into each artist's uniquely nuanced spiral of growth,
​showcasing the power of the artistic process to unpack and transmute the complexities of the human experience - both individual and collective."

“Using a trauma-informed and decolonial lens, this work will explore how Non-Violent-Communication allows for the truth of systemic oppression and creates space for intentional relational repair. We will provide a concrete framework for exploring and navigating conflict within your own life in addition to practical tools to deepen skills for empathy toward self and other.”
