If there's a survivor in your life who's still waiting on the sun,
let them know that you're there for them, even on the days
when all you can do is wait with them.

---

"We're Not All Blessed With Exit Wounds"
--from Gardens From Graves, by Kristin Kory

If you ask me about letting go
I'll tell you that we're not all blessed
with exit wounds

I'll tell you that one day you'll turn it loose
you'll let it go away from you
but some things aren't so easily scattered to sea
sometimes it's easier to let it stay

until the sun that comes from nowhere
cuts holes in the darkness
and breaks you open

and when it pulls misery from night
and burdens from body
I'll tell you that you'll find feathers
in the spaces left behind

Green Dot is Kentucky’s evidence-based violence prevention program, and in the last 10 years, more than 54,000 students and community members have participated in Green Dot trainings across the Commonwealth. Independent research from the University of Kentucky shows that schools with Green Dot programming experienced a 21% reduction in sexual violence perpetration and a 30% reduction in dating violence perpetration.

A Green Dot is a simple action that prevents violence before it happens.

Kentucky’s sexual violence resource centers are staffed with trained prevention specialists who deliver high-quality Green Dot programming in schools and communities across the state. These trainings equip Kentuckians to interrupt potentially harmful situations, take action as a bystander, and help create safer communities for everyone.

We’re honored to partner with Pathways Porchlight for this event at our studio on Saturday May 16th from 6-8pm!

This event is open to everyone of all ages in the community, because consent is relevant to everyone! Sexual violence is a heavy topic, and our goal is to bring the community together for a fun/relaxing time, celebrating survivors, and learning more about the services available.

Join us to paint a small planter ($20) and plant your own seeds of strength using free soil and seeds. You are welcome to create freely or use our ribbon stencils and teal to represent awareness and solidarity.

We’ll have charcuterie and drinks available to enjoy.

$5 from every piece will be donated to Pathways Porchlight.

Hope to see you there ❤️
