at the end of my eyes, you | Sunday June 7, 2020 at 10 AM PDT
Presented by virtual care lab and PHILTH HAUS

Together, we empower the tear amidst our seismic grief. This gathering will begin with a public livestream meditation and soundbath by PHILTH HAUS, and a reading by artist Sarah Naqvi, opening a portal to a heightened state of emotionality. This will be followed by an intimate video chat resulting in an epistolary, tear-scented correspondence. This continual crying ceremony does not expect one to cry, but merely provides the option for it. Afterward, ANDRA will send participants a letter with a formulation to make a scent from their tears.

About the host:
