In celebration of the launch of Darcy Ottey’s first book, Rites and Responsibilities: A Guide to Growing Up, join an evening of stories, song, and sharing dedicated to regenerating cultural practices to support us through the changes in our lives and in our world today.

• Fostering intergenerational culture-building toward healing and transformation, centering youth. 

• Listening for how each of us can be part of revitalizing cultural practices for healing and transformation.

• Amplifying and celebrating Rites & Responsibilities, a book Darcy Ottey spent the last decade-plus working to bring to physical form

• Mobilizing resources for important youth-serving efforts, in the spirit of mutual support, equity, & reparations
