WTF is Happening?! Community Gathering at Standing Rock Cultural Arts – Kent, OH

WT+F is Happening?! Community Gatherings

Wellness, Transformation, + Freedom through Art, Connection, and Action

Join us for a free, family-friendly community event designed to spark creativity, meaningful conversations, and collective care. WTF is Happening celebrates the belief that true wellness and transformation happen when we gather, connect, and take action together, showing what’s possible when a community comes alive through creativity and compassion.

What to Expect:

• Live Music & Performances: Enjoy music, poetry, and youth performances.
• Trust Drum Circles: Participate in interactive drum circles to share rhythm, connection, and community energy.
• Interactive Art & Hands-On Projects: Dive into creative experiences and co-create a community mosaic.
• Restorative Practices: Yoga, Reiki, and meditation sessions to recharge and connect.
• Youth & Teen Activities: A robot demo by KSS and a Dungeons & Dragons session.
• Community Learning: Opportunities to learn about your rights and engage with local organizations.

At the Heart of the Day

Co-create a community mosaic, inspired by Wick Poetry Center’s Freedom Story, a reminder that while each of us is unique, we are connected as part of a greater whole. Themes of justice, connection, and collective strength guide the day.

Eco-Friendly Commitment

We are hosting this event with care for the environment: sourcing locally, reducing waste, and reusing or recycling materials wherever possible.

Come curious, come open, and leave empowered, a vital piece of this growing mosaic.

Please note: Space is limited. RSVP helps us plan, but does not guarantee entry.

Agenda subject to change.

All art supplies sponsored by MomsRising.

We use a layered funding system, so every dollar is intentional. Once one layer is fully funded, we move to the next:

• Layer 1: Pay the Artists – Honor the musicians and makers who bring it to life.
• Layer 2: Cover the Space – Support the venue and event costs.
• Layer 3: Support Our Partners – Share funds with collaborating orgs.
• Layer 4: Thank Our Helpers – Gift volunteers with local love.
• Layer 5: Build for the Future – Roll extra into the next gathering.

Transparency You Can Trust

We will share a live budget tracker before, during, and after the event so anyone can see the full numbers.
