ART PULSE
For NATURE!
Monthly Street Art Actions
~Next up~
Saturday,
July 6th!
Interdependence Day 2024
Pageant of All Beings!
10-12 Noon
Meet in Pulaski Park
Main St. Northampton, MA.
​
Come Celebrate our Interdependence with all life!
Get grounded, raise up your voice and art, and step out into the world as a human who cares deeply for Grandmother Earth and all her creatures.
We will circle up at 10am in Pulaski Park with giant puppets and handmade banners created by artist and pastoral counselor Beth Fairservis. Guided by Beth, we will, through shared words and song, co-create a communal passion play honoring the voices of the land and animals. We will collectively acknowledge the original peoples of this land, and support each other in awakening to the suffering and the resilience we see in the world in this time of extinction and evolution. Then we will joyously walk in a pageant on the sidewalks of Northampton, leading back to the park for a sharing of Hungry Ghost Bread!

Why should we take to the streets in an
ART PULSE for NATURE?
​
Our cities and towns need to become communal public spaces for sharing art, ideas, concerns and feelings rather than merely centers for commerce. Art Pulses seek to bring this about in a sacred creative way. We don't try to build audiences, but instead gather participants who are called to raise up voices, both past and the present, who cannot speak for themselves, and to deepen community resilience in this sacred creative way.
​
What if this was part of our regular practice in life? To listen into the voice of nature and her peoples and speak creatively for them, on the street, often.
​
I have made it my commitment to do so for
the rest of this year 2024.
Join me and the others who have made this commitment too!
and...Please Donate to keep this Pulse going!
Beth Fairservis, has been creating art, puppets and theater about climate change and social justice for over 20 years. She has co-produced street theater events in alignment with Climate Action Now, Mother’s Out Front, Extinction Rebellion, and most recently Western MA Rights of Nature. Inspired by the work of Joanna Macy and with a passion for the cultures of original peoples world wide, Beth lives into the belief that communal art expression in public spaces is essential for humans in maintaining a sense of connection with each other and with the land. Beth seeks to orient her work towards the highest good of all beings, by creatively celebrating our interconnectedness as a lived story in our bodies!
