Resource Center For Nonviolence

Doors open at 6 PM. Film begins at 6:30 PM.For 50 years, the Resource Center for Nonviolence (RCNV) has equipped our community with tools to build a just and peaceful world. We’re proud to collaborate with Science and Nonduality (SAND)—an organization exploring our interconnectedness and humanity’s place within the web of life—to host the Santa Cruz Premieres of the Wisdom of the Ancestors film series. These films hold transformative power, and we believe viewing and contemplating them together can help disrupt cycles of violence and nurture Beloved Community. About the film: Amidst the wide horizons of Diné land, the legacy of historical trauma echoes through generations. At the center, a medicine man and a small school, where grief and resilience meet in song, teaching, and k’é (kinship). Little Singer is rooted in the land; carrying the vision and medicine of k’é for those yet to come. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NaMhG3EVxmc" title="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NaMhG3EVxmc" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">View the trailer.</a>We invite you to the theatrical screening of SAND's new film, <a href="https://scienceandnonduality.acemlna.com/lt.php?x=4lZy~GE6KnXND84v__y6WBJt1nQhiQL0v-diZHfDVqGhE57.-0y7xelv1nymjUA0_ueglPHGKnGf95_A0_AYVvFw2H2mjq" title="https://scienceandnonduality.acemlna.com/lt.php?x=4lZy~GE6KnXND84v__y6WBJt1nQhiQL0v-diZHfDVqGhE57.-0y7xelv1nymjUA0_ueglPHGKnGf95_A0_AYVvFw2H2mjq" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Little Singer</a>.
