Conjugal Dictators - Imelda & Ferdinand Marcos |
The seeker is constantly challenged. Enlightenment and evolution are what our souls long for. Our hearts cry out for clarity and discernment in search of our spiritual path and self realization. There are no solid or easy answers. It is our shared experience and compassion that sustain and support us through life.

black history month
As February draws to an end and Lenten Season is upon us, we celebrate with this gorgeous and beloved performance. Alvin Ailey’s Revelations fervently explores the places of deepest grief and holiest joy of the soul through African-American spirituals, song-sermons, gospel songs and holy blues.
celebrating 50 years of "Revelations" |
Watch this short documentary by Emmy Award-winning producer and director Judy Kinberg celebrates the 50th anniversary of Alvin Ailey’s masterpiece, 'Revelations,' and illuminates the history and significance of this modern dance classic.
We also take this opportunity to honor male impersonator Stormé DeLarverie of The Jewel Box Revue - a female impersonation company that toured the black theater circuit. The Jewel Box Revue was the first racially integrated female impersonation show on the circuit and DeLarverie was their only “drag king”.

Stormé DeLarverie was a performer and LGBTQ+ activist who was reported to have thrown the first punch at the Stonewall Uprising in NYC in 1969 while protecting members of the LGBTQ+ community. This #BlackHistoryMonth we honor her legacy by continuing to speak out against injustice.
