We Go On Tour
Details
Explore the intersection of GRIEF and HOPE through live music, storytelling, film and engaging conversation with tears and laughter.
A one of a kind immersive experience exploring the intersection of grief and hope. Some have even called it an “intuitive exhibit”, We Go On is an evening designed to help you hold on to hope. Through storytelling, music, visuals, laughter, and connection with others We Go On Tour helps you take a next step toward healing. We’ve learned that sometimes the smallest steps are the most important ones.
