Art & Soul Circle: The Threads That Tie Us
2025-03-07 18:30 - 20:30 | Arts Collaborative Medford, 162 Mystic Ave, Medford, MA, United States
Fabric carries memory. Threads hold tension. Weaving is both an art and an act of connection.
Join us for an Art & Soul Circle where we’ll pull at the threads of this stunning exhibition—unraveling stories, stitching together meaning, and discovering how textiles become a language of resilience, justice, and belonging.
Just like fabric, our lives are layered, knotted, and intertwined. Come ready to reflect, share, and be woven into a conversation that honors both art and soul.

Good Friday Faith and Film: "FLOW" (2024)
2025-04-18 18:30 - 20:00 | https://us02web.zoom.us/j/83842047566?pwd=[REDACTED]
🐾 What If Good Friday Had Fur, Fins, and Feathers? This Good Friday, we’re diving deep into Flow—an Oscar-winning, dialogue-free animated film where a solitary cat survives a flooded world, forms unlikely friendships, and faces a whale-sized fear. No halos or hymnals here—just a raw, breathtaking journey that echoes the cross, the tomb, and the quiet hope of resurrection. Join us for an online Faith & Film discussion where we’ll explore what it means to trust again, to build community in ruins, and to meet God in the silence.
Watch on your own. Come with your questions. Leave with something resurrected.
Flow Viewer Guide
Flow Participants_Guide
From the Filmaker: A wondrous journey, through realms natural and mystical, Flow follows a courageous cat after his home is devastated by a great flood. Teaming up with a capybara, a lemur, a bird, and a dog to navigate a boat in search of dry land, they must rely on trust, courage, and wits to survive the perils of a newly aquatic planet. From the boundless imagination of the award-winning Gints Zilbalodis (Away) comes a thrilling animated spectacle as well as a profound meditation on the fragility of the environment and the spirit of friendship and community. Steeped in the soaring possibilities of visual storytelling, Flow is a feast for the senses and a treasure for the heart. Watch the trailer
