Celebrate the publication of Elan Shapiro’s Thriving Futures: A Liberation Coloring Book with Poems, Reflections, and Practices at this interactive, challenging, and fun event. Refreshments included. This event will feature an overview and a short poetry reading from the book. Participants will then choose an image printed out from the book, to reflect upon and/or color in, with a partner. The images and words playfully integrate the worlds of personal and collective liberation.

Elan Shapiro is a local activist, artist, community educator/facilitator, and mindfulness practitioner, who co-founded Sustainable Tompkins, the Building Bridges network, and TC SURJ (Showing Up for Racial Justice). He supports beloved community and earth connection as keys to transforming the current planetary crisis into a society where ALL can thrive.
