September 6: Begin It, Just Begin It
by Hy Carrel

Hy will offer stories of beginnings that take us to unexpected and wonderful places, doing things well, of which we never imagined that we’d be capable. It is never too late to begin!

Bio: Hy trained for 5 years with Faithful Fools street-level community in San Francisco’s Tenderloin and then returned to Buffalo in 2019, serving in homeless services before starting Kind Fools as a program of Community Canvases, an arts nonprofit that builds community in WNY. Kind Fools promotes healing by facilitating spaces of deep witness, expression and listening.
