TOGETHER WE,

pro.claim

Launched in 2023,  pro.claim is Self-Reclaimed’s Community Night, where we honor the courageous expression of our community of survivors who proclaim their individual stories of reclamation through a performance showcase and intimate art gallery.
 

The survivors who perform for the evening have taken part in a 3-month expressive arts healing program, reclaim your story , where they explore reclaiming their stories:

from victim, to survivor, to healer.

Self-Reclaimed’s Annual Community Night, pro.claim took place on Saturday, February 17, 2024

We witnessed the strength and resilience of our fireweeds through a performance showcase and intimate art gallery. We hope you join us again next year!

About
Fireweed Description (2)_edited.png

FIREWEED.

From the ashes of a wildfire, the fireweed is the first to emerge - a symbol of reclamation. By taking over the landscape in bright plumes of vibrant purple, it restores what was taken, creating opportunities of renewal and hope.

pro.claim 2024 introduces for the first time, our FIREWEEDS. These are our healers - survivors - who refuse to be reduced to what happened to them. Witness them as they grow back with a fierce beauty that brings life to everything around them.

This year, we recruited sponsors & vendors to not only help us cover the expenses to make this event happen, but to expand our community to include values-aligned businesses who truly believe in our mission to heal, empower, and unite our community against SA + DV.
 

We were overwhelmed at the positive response from business owners, individuals, and families!

 

With the exception of our Reclamation Coaches who work 1:1 with our cohort members, our entire team is made up of volunteers - from chief leadership, to our creative team, to the program facilitators. On behalf of our staff, board of directors, community volunteer leads, and survivors -
 

YOU made this event possible!

thank you!
