DESCRIPTION:Take Back the Night Healing Arts Festival \n\nGreetings Wonderful People! 
 \nJoin Veteran Artists and the San Francisco Art Community as we sing, 
 perform poetry and story-telling, dance, and display art to "empower and 
 honor" those who have gone through military sexual trauma, sexual assault, 
 rape, domestic violence and have survived and thrived, on Saturday, October 
 13, 2012, 11:30 am-7:30 pm, at the Veterans Building, 401 Van Ness Ave, 2nd 
 floor. This event is sponsored by American Legion Post 315, Veterans for 
 Peace Chapter 69, Veterans Art Guild, and Veterans Media Center San 
 Francisco. \nWe gather to raise awareness about sexual violence and to 
 support the survivors in their healing process. There will be both military 
 veteran and non-veteran artists, from the San Francisco Bay Area, an 
 inspiring array of divine spirit women/goddess altars from 6 continents 
 will be displayed, as well as beautiful innovative visual art. In addition, 
 you will enjoy holistic healing activities throughout the day including 
 yoga, qigong, and belly-dancing, as well as informational booths by San 
 Francisco Women Against Rape, Women's Inc., Protect Our Defenders, 
 StoryCorps, homeopathic and mental health therapists. The day will 
 culminate with a dynamic panel of speakers and live performances of Dance 
 Brigade, Al-hambra Tribal Dance Troupe, Mama Coalt artivist, poets and much 
 more. \nLastly, a Take Back the Night walk will start 6:30 pm, ending at 
 the Civic Center Plaza in a spiral candle-light vigil honoring those who 
 have lost their lives and those who have survived. An $1:50 donation is 
 suggested for each candle. People of all ages, races, religions, 
 backgrounds and genders are welcome and encouraged to attend this FREE 
 event. Light refreshments will be served. Join with us in unity as 
 together, we all work towards a violence-free world. United, we can stop 
 the violence! This is a Clean and Sober, Hate Free Event! \nLatonia M.
