Justice Action
The Justice Action for Event 2022 will focus on the reforms needed to the cash bail system. Additionally we will learn about holistic, gender-responsive reentry services for people impacted by incarceration. Below are materials from the justice action.
Prayer and Liturgy
There will be a candle lighting ceremony during the Friday night Opening Ritual. Everyone in St. Louis will have a small battery-operated candle at their place. We invite virtual participants to bring a personal candle, also, so that you can participate fully in the Opening Ritual from wherever you are. We will all be mindful of your presence from afar.
On Saturday, July 9th of the Federation Event, we will offer a chance for everyone to pause and have some “Personal Integration Time” for about 45 minutes. It will be a kind of retreat moment in the middle of the event to help everyone begin to absorb and process all they have seen, heard and felt during Event. If you are someone who might like to pray and process your thoughts and feelings through art, we invite you to bring your own art materials or journals to use during this time.
For virtual participants, a music booklet is available at the top of the page.
