Decolonizing the Heart: Celebrating the Song of the Mother
For any human who is a Mom, who has a Mom, and is held by the Mother.
Sunday, MAY 10

Join Aviva Arts’ Artistic Director Debórah Eliezer and special guest Amal Bisharat, Director of Aviva Arts' latest work in development, SWITCH via Zoom.
Join Amal Bisharat and Debórah Eliezer on Mother’s Day for a creative dedication to all the ways we honor the Mother. Through song, guided meditation, ritual, and reflection, we’ll explore practices that root us in our lineage, collective care, and compassion.
Themes we’ll explore include:
Embracing the Divine Feminine
Re-parenting ourselves and nurturing the feminine within
Honoring the wisdom and lessons from our mothers
Letting go of shame and societal pressures
Connection, creativity, and collective care
This participatory session may include singing, personal reflection, writing your own lines, sharing in dialogue, and guided meditative practices. Open to all genders and ages. Invite your Mom, your child, or a friend, and celebrate the divine feminine within us all.
No prior experience in singing, meditation, or ritual is necessary: all are welcome to participate!

Decolonizing the Heart is facilitated by mixed-identity folks with roots in Europe, the Americas, occupied Palestine, Israel and the greater SWANA region. We are in solidarity with the struggle for Palestinian liberation and unequivocally oppose the violence and injustices perpetrated by Zionism. We welcome anyone seeking community connection and tools for self-care.

Financial & Values Statement
We invite you, if you are able, to align your payment with your values.
All our artists navigate a systemically inequitable and unstable financial landscape during ongoing genocide, racism and war. Your contribution directly supports their ability to continue creating, teaching, and sustaining their work.
If you have the financial capacity, we encourage you to choose a higher tier, this is a direct way to put your values into action and support marginalized artists.
At the same time, we want this space to remain accessible. No one will be turned away for lack of funds.
If cost is a barrier, please reach out to us, or contribute at the lowest tier available, whatever is possible for you.
