Join us Friday April 20th 7-9pm in Dupont Circle for Lunafest: films by, for and about women!

We’re incredibly excited to be the DC co-host for this film festival for a 4th consecutive year. It’s a natural fit for the work we do bringing yoga, creativity and leadership to girls through TranquilTeens and the support work we foster through our Generosity Program’s microgrants.

Oh, and it’s a lot of fun! Check out the trailer here, and stay tuned for ticket sales:
