This will be a non-partisan night of healing and community before the election.

Artist and psychotherapist, Andrew Purchin will give a brief talk and show video about his pilgrimage to the Republican and Democratic conventions where he and his team encouraged people to paint on a 180 foot scroll while guiding them to find inner calm and compassion towards those whom they judge.

The video includes interviews with a range of people including delegates, activists, evangelists, teachers, artists, business people, locals and even the co-founder of Latinos for Trump who made art for the first time. This is the same man who later, made the remark, "if you don't do something about it (immigration), your going to have taco trucks on every corner."

The evening will conclude with a group activity with the scroll.

Be prepared to get your hands dirty! To become more compassionate to those we disagree with is not an easy thing.

To untie a knot, you need to create slack. Depending on how you are holding the knot, that can mean pushing instead of pulling. Be gentle but firm, tugging the wrong way too hard can just tighten the knot further. Move on to a different pair of loops until the knot loosens. Keep working the knot from different angles, trying different combinations until you get one or two spots of looseness. (wikiHow)
