EXPLICIT: The 9th Annual Feminine Weapon Day benefit took
place at a mystical home in downtown Los Angeles. Since 2014,
people have been gathering on January 30th to honor the power of
femininity and co-creation, in benefit of children who are in need
of care.
Limited to just 50 people, the sold-out event was a
one-night-only interactive theater, “The Space Between
Stories.”
The raved-about evening began with the group watching the sunset
on a rooftop overlooking the city while two World Cup Winning
fencers spared to music playing from a rare instrument called, the
Ambox. If that wasn't enough to inspire chatter, magician Chad
Nelson made his rounds for an extra later of wow.
At dusk, participants were guided through a mysterious silver
door and into a whimsical world where ceremony and art came to
life. Already connected through shared experience, people further
bonded over heartfelt performances, a one-of-a-kind auction, and
delicious food by Top Vegan Chef, Nicole Derseweh. No nobody
objected to the event being booze-free.
What touched every heart was a fireside chat with Christina
and the executive director of She Ready Foundation, Dr. Thyonne
Gordon. The group learned about issues with the foster care system,
and how they can help ease the pain so many children experience on
a daily basis.
Proceeds from Feminine Weapon Day benefit at-risk youth and
children in underserved communities to receive Art & Healing
programs, like the ones WeDeepen presents for grownups,
adjusted for kids.
At the time of this recording, the 9th Annual event raised $8K
for the She Ready Foundation from ticket sales, donations, and the
auction. In total and through the years, Feminine Weapon Day has
raised over $73,000.
In this podcast WeDeepen guide, Amber J and Christina recap
Feminine Weapon Day. After they recap, Amber J reflects on the time
that she contracted a "Shibari Shaman" to live with her for a
month. It's an experience she said offered her healing,
understanding, and preparation for meeting her King.
