In the middle of all else, Kendyl and Tree joined National Leader Laura Giddings in Washington D.C. last week. They were there when core member Stacie died but Kendyl felt strongly that she had important advocacy work to do!

Here she is in the office of making a difference like she always does.

Kendyl is an absolute champion of human rights! 💛

Hello Community and Dear Friends of Stacie Swanson,

Stacie died early in the morning on Monday, March 23. She was peaceful in her passing, surrounded by love and good friends. Later that morning, those who cared for her so well continued to care for her one last time. She headed out of Ananda in song, wearing her favorite Llama Christmas sweater.

Even though this feels extremely heavy and we hope this season of loss ends soon, we remain in absolute awe of the way this community gathers and supports each other in death.

Stacie's memorial will be Saturday, April 4 at 10:30 am at the Welcome Center located at 12302 Vickery Avenue East, Tacoma, WA 98446.

If you are able to attend, please leave parking open at the Welcome Center for people who need accessibility. Community Members, please park at Ananda or Hopespring. Other guests can park in the large lot at the Training Center and walk through to the Welcome Center. The Training Center address is 12303 36th Ave., Tacoma, WA 98446.

Peace to all of you,

L’Arche Tahoma Hope
