While mental health and grief have been popular subjects of conversation, many have been uncomfortable with sitting in the honesty of the hurt from loss and move too quickly to hope. Others who can’t see their way to hope sit in pits of honest despair. Too often, Grief and Hope are seen as traveling down parallel streets - forcing those entering into the conversation to choose which avenue to travel.
I know there’s a better way. Grief and Hope aren’t parallel streets; they intersect. The We Go On Tour pitches a tent at that intersection. We believe the impact of an event like this allows people to feel life-changing relief and perspective-shifting community as they realize they don’t have to make it to the end of grief to find hope. We help people discover both can coexist.
We are reaching out to you as a potential partner for the We Go On Tour because we believe your organization exemplifies hope. By joining forces, we can help those who are grieving take their next step towards hope in an approachable meaningful way. This packet tells you more about the creative approach and team with the We Go On Tour.
In a culture bad at talking about grief, what if a team of creatives, artist, and do-gooders came to your city for one night to spark conversation, facilitate hope, and create a space to do the work we often avoid. This one-of-a-kind event, which has been referred to as “late night show meets mini conference meets family reunion”, demonstrates through laughter and tears that Grief and Hope can coexist.
We Go On is a one-evening immersive experience, featuring storytelling, live music, panel conversations, and audience and community networking. The goal? Facing Grief and uncovering Hope in approachable and unlikely places.
