The 9th Annual Feminine Weapon Day benefit took place at Durian Songbird’s joy-filled home in downtown, Los Angeles on Sunday, January 30th.
Since 2014, communities have been gathering on January 30th to honor the power of femininity and co-creation, benefiting children who are in need of care.
Limited to just 50 people, participants enjoyed a one-night-only interactive theater experience called, “The Space Between Stories” inspired by Kayla Sibler’s renowned art.
The raved-about evening began watching the sunset on the rooftop overlooking downtown LA with two World Cup fencers sparing to music that played from a rare-looking instrument called an Ambox. Magician Chad Nelson made rounds for an extra later of wow.
At dusk, participants were guided through a mysterious silver door and into a whimsical world where ceremony and art came to life.
The group, already bonded with shared experience, deepened over heartfelt performances, a one-of-a-kind auction, and delicious food by Top Vegan Chef, Nicole Derseweh. We prayed together and slipped cacao elixirs.
What touched every heart was the fireside chat with Christina Weber and the executive director of She Ready Foundation, Dr. Thyonne Gordon. The group learned about issues with the foster care system and how they can help ease the pain many young people and children are currently experiencing.
Proceeds from Feminine Weapon Day benefit at-risk youth and children in underserved communities to receive Art & Healing programs, like the ones WeDeepen presents for grownups, adjusted for kids. This mission is important to us.
With the help of a small army of people, WeDeepen’s 9th Annual Feminine Weapon Day raised $7,500 from ticket sales, donations, and auctions. In total, Feminine Weapon Day has now raised over $72,500 for at-risk children and youth to receive resources, education, and growth.
