Local artist Ferene Paris from All Heart Inspirations is closing out our 10-year celebration with stories from the heart!

Join us on Sunday, June 8th from 4:00pm - 6:00pm for “The Heart of the Matter: Stories of Community & Liberation”—an intimate afternoon of connection, storytelling, and soulful celebration.

This event is also a fundraiser for All Heart Inspirations’ Annual Juneteenth Sails, a sacred celebration on Lake Champlain honoring Black liberation and joy. Our goal is to raise $14,000, and this evening will help us get there—with a suggested donation of $10 and Ferene’s famous Haitian rhum cake for sale. All proceeds support Juneteenth Sails.

Come for the celebration + stay for the stories!

🎟 Suggested donation: $10
🍰 Haitian Barbancourt Rhum Cake for sale

Join us for a very special Southwest Asian and North African (SWANA) Community Dinner at Stowe Street Cafe.

Chef Stephanie and our team will lovingly prepare and present a variety of dishes from this region of the world commonly referred to as the "Middle East".

There will be many plates to savor and share throughout the evening as well as some special offerings to be announced all to deeply honor and celebrate the incredible history and beauty of the region that unfortunately does not often make the news.

Many of these dishes come from the truly beautiful cookbook, "Bethlehem: A Celebration of Palestinian Food", by Fadi Kattan, as well as other recipes from Lebanon, Iran, and Morocco. Credit for the photo of this event goes to Fadi Kattan's book and the photographer Elias Halabi.
