Collected stories will be written on cloth, witnessed, and washed in a trilogy ritual spanning three days of the AiOP Care festival.
Share your story.
What is a wash story? They might be…
A story of grief
A tender story that holds emotional weight for you
A memory you hold close to your heart
A story of strength through struggle
A loss that you may still carry within
A witnessing of the world that brings you sadness
Something difficult that requires inner strength to resolve
Stories come in many forms:
A written story or even
A fragment of a story, a few lines
A poem
An oral telling or recording
Another art form!
