- **Event Description**: A Dove's Song is an evening of story sharing, witness, and collective healing honoring the lives of missing and murdered indigenous women.About this EventA Dove’s Song: Remembering Our Way Home is a powerful evening of Playback Theatre, community storytelling, and healing arts dedicated to honoring the lives of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and People (MMIW/P).Playback Theatre is an interactive form of theater where audience members are invited to share moments, memories, and reflections. Skilled actors and musicians then bring these stories to life on stage in the moment, creating a moving experience of witnessing, connection, and collective healing.This gathering is rooted in the belief that art can open spaces where grief, remembrance, truth, and healing can coexist.Through story, music, and embodied performance, we create a sacred space to:• Honor the lives of Indigenous women and people whose voices have been silenced• Acknowledge the deep impact of this ongoing crisis• Witness and hold stories from the community• Use the healing arts to restore connection and remembranceThis event is part of the Sharing Through Art Heals initiative, bringing together artists, community members, and advocates to create meaningful dialogue and healing through creative expression.Together we gather not only to remember, but to reclaim our shared humanity and remember our way home to one another.Stories carry memory. Re-membering carries truth. Truth, when honored through witnessing, becomes a healing path home.A Dove’s Song is an invitation to listen deeply, honor lives, and participate in a collective movement toward healing and awareness.You can expect a powerful Playback Theater performance in a supportive and respectful community atmosphere where there is shared space for reflection, remembrance, and healing. Participation in storytelling is completely optional. No experience is required.This event welcomes:• Community members• Artists, creatives, healers, social activists, educators• Those passionate about social justice and Indigenous rights• Individuals interested in healing arts and storytelling• Anyone wishing to witness and honor these lives with respect and careMay 5 is recognized across the United States and Canada as the National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and People (MMIW/P). This day honors the lives of Indigenous women, girls, Two-Spirit, and Indigenous people whose disappearances and deaths have too often gone unnoticed, uninvestigated, or underreported.Indigenous communities and allies gather on May 5 to remember those who are missing, honor those who were taken, and bring visibility to a crisis that continues to affect families and communities across North America.Red has become the symbolic color of the movement—representing both remembrance and the presence of those whose voices can no longer be heard.Through ceremonies, storytelling, art, and community gatherings, May 5 is a day to lift up awareness, support Indigenous-led advocacy, and commit to justice, healing, and remembrance.Events like A Dove’s Song: Remembering Our Way Home continue this spirit of witness and healing by creating spaces where stories are honored and community comes together in solidarity.We strive to create a respectful and supportive environment for all attendees. Stories shared during the event will be treated with care and respect.

                "description": "Maria Mellano, LICSW, CP, PAT, Maria is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW), a Certified Psychodramatist (CP), and a Practitioner Applicant for Trainer (PAT) in psychodrama. She has been practicing since 1999. She specializes in helping highly sensitive people make sense of the deep insights they receive to live purposeful, aligned lives they genuinely love. Her approach is warm, engaged, and direct—balancing emotional depth and process with pragmatic action and transformational choice. At the heart of her work is the belief that we are already whole and complete.Maria is a trauma-informed and ontological practitioner trained in Internal Family Systems, Psychodramatic Bodywork, and transformational leadership coaching. She is passionate about helping others bloom into lives they love—starting exactly where they are. Maria leads a private therapy group practice based in Boston, MA, and a coaching practice that extends globally from her bi-coastal bases, including San Diego, CA.Her commitment to healing extends beyond the therapy room: she volunteers with the End Violence Project’s Another Way to Go program, offering transformational thinking and leadership tools to individuals impacted by incarceration, both inside and outside of prison walls. When she’s not working, you’ll often find her replenishing in nature with her beloved pug-zhu, Izzy.A fun fact about Maria: she was born and raised on a flower farm in Southern California that’s been in her family for a century since my grandparents immigrated from Italy in 1925. The theme of blooming holds deep, personal meaning for her. Another part of my story is my time living in Japan for three and a half years—teaching English, studying social science at Sophia University, and immersing myself in a culture that has profoundly influenced my life and healing journey. That expansive experience and my graduate education at Smith College eventually brought me to the East Coast.If you’re curious about working together therapeutically or through coaching, I’d love to connect. I have a special interest in supporting fellow therapists, though I welcome individuals from all walks of life. One of my favorite quotes captures the spirit I bring to our work:\"Forgive yourself for not knowing what you didn't know before you learned it.\"~ Maya Angelou"
