Come join us in December to explore this universal topic: whatever we may celebrate, losing or missing a loved one at holidays (or birthdays & other milestones) can certainly compound our grief. How do we hold space for that added emotion, as well as honor the lives of those we’ve lost?
Center for Solace invites you to be part of its magical Annual Lantern Walk on November 7 — and this year, there’s a special twist! You can create your very own lantern to carry during the walk, adding a personal glow to this heartwarming community tradition.

Center for Solace invites you to be part of a beautiful tradition as we once again light up Main Street with our Annual Lantern Walk — a moving evening of remembrance, community, and hope.
On Friday, November 7, from 5:30–7:00 PM, we’ll gather at the Brattleboro Common on Park Place and begin with a heartfelt Ceremony of Remembrance, then walk together down Main Street, lanterns in hand, lighting the way with the love and memories we hold for those we’ve lost.
The River Gallery School of Art has received funding from The Wolf Kahn and Emily Mason Foundation, The Vermont Community Foundation, Ben & Jerry’s Foundation, The Anne Slade Frey Fund, and the Windham Foundation to continue their Art for Social Change Program. The program, which started in 2019 focuses on the healing aspects of art and mindfulness for marginalized populations, community caregivers and the general public. The emphasis of these classes, offered free of charge, is not on art technique but offering an opportunity to play with art materials in a relaxed, supportive environment.
