A Vision of Haven: Catharsis on the Mall, a group dedicated to healing through artistic expression, will be hosting this vigil on the National Mall on Saturday.

Saturday’s vigil will be live-streamed from the Reliquary and will feature meditations and artist workshops. The vigil will end with the burning of the “Lotus of Haven” effigy, which will be done off-site. More information here.
