Day of Transformation

Speaking Down Barriers will present their 1st Annual Day of Transformation on May 19 from 10 AM-2 PM in Spartanburg. The event is designed to use dialogue, art, poetry, and creativity to help people think about living together intentionally across human differences like race, culture, and class. SC Humanities supported this event with a Mini Grant.

Speaking Down Barriers is a nonprofit organization that offers spoken-word poetry, transformative dialogue, workshops, and deep listening to communities, organizations, and institutions.  Learn more at: http://www.speakdownbarriers.org/.

Registration is required for the Day of Transformation. More information is available on their website or on the Facebook event page. The event will take place at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Spartanburg, 210 Henry Place, Spartanburg, South Carolina 29306
