Now is the Time for Sacred Ground: Interfaith Conversations About Race
2025-11-21, 2025-11-22, 2025-11-23, 2025-11-24, 2025-11-25 | Curtis Memorial Library, 23 Pleasant Street, Brunswick, ME, 04011, United States
In times like these, it’s natural to feel overwhelmed, angry, helpless, or unsure of what to do. With so many urgent and painful challenges unfolding, it can seem like nothing we do makes a difference. Sacred Ground offers space to learn, reflect, and better understand how we got here — and how we can move forward together. This 11-session, film- and readings-based dialogue program helps participants connect the dots between our country’s history and today’s realities, offering the tools needed to engage effectively in the work of racial healing. This program offers not only knowledge and skills, but community — a shared sense of purpose and a reminder that you are not alone in hoping for a more just future.
We have four interfaith groups starting this fall at Curtis Library and hope you will join one. As you look at the dates below, don’t worry if there are one or two meetings of your chosen group that you can’t attend – life happens! Please join the conversation.

Vanessa uses Bronze Tibetan singing bowls, tongue drum, vocal toning and crystal bowls to create healing and transformation in the body and mind. Participants will be on the floor; blankets, bolsters and mats are available to you but feel free to bring your favorites.
About the facilitator:
Vanessa Bresson is a Reiki attuned, IASH certified Sound Practitioner located in Freeport Maine utilizing and blending Sonic Embodiment Experience by way of vocal toning/singing, Tibetan Bowl Sound Massage, ringing and singing Crystal bowls and more. Vanessa blends sounds, vibration and notes intuitively on the road to invoke others innate ability to heal themselves. She moves through her creative practice partnering with beloved yoga teachers to bring nervous-system restoring sessions in class and 1:1 bespoke sessions.
Vanessa’s path to supporting others is irrevocably intertwined with her own healing journey with music which began as a young child. The sound of her own voice became her constant comrade through thick and thin to bring her a balm for a tough world. She furthered upon exploration of her own self-healing in the early 2000s at a small Liberal Arts college in Vermont. Beginning in the curiosity of discomfort by way of her first yoga pose, these roots of exploration in spending time with herself in different ways of being and of thought grew into the building blocks of a new way of existing. She feels that we are to one another antidote and medicine and that small, loving acts of care can catalyze into new ways of loving ourselves and the world.
