“You do not have to be good. You do not have to walk on your knees for a hundred miles through the desert, repenting. You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves.” – Mary Oliver

If you’d like, invite someone close to you to explore it alongside you - it can open up meaningful conversation and insight.
This year, we have complimentary tickets available exclusively for our Jameson Fellows. Tickets will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis.
Please complete the form below to indicate your interest in attending. We will follow up to confirm whether your ticket has been approved or if you have been placed on the waitlist.

We are hosting the Compassionate City Awards Event at the City of Las Vegas’ Council Chambers on June 11, 10:00 am. No RSVP required! Surprise: One of your cohort fellows, along with another fellow alum, is among this year’s award winners.
Journal Prompt: Take a few quiet moments and reflect on the part of you that deserves the most compassion.
What parts of myself have I had to hide, minimize, or protect in order to feel safe or accepted? What would it feel like to offer those parts of me the same kindness, understanding, and celebration that I would offer to someone I deeply love?
As you write, explore:
- Moments when you felt fully seen and accepted.
- Messages you received about who you "should" be and how they affected you.
- Strengths, resilience, and wisdom you've gained from your journey.
- What your authentic self needs from you right now.
- One way you can celebrate or affirm your identity this month.
Self-Care Activity: Imagine your most compassionate, accepting, and loving self sitting beside you. Write yourself a letter from that perspective.
Acknowledge challenges you've faced. Appreciate your courage and resilience. Validate your identity and experiences.
Read the letter aloud to yourself slowly. Place your hand over your heart and repeat:
"I am worthy of love and belonging exactly as I am. My identity, my story, and my existence matter."
To close, identify one small act of self-care or self-expression you can offer yourself this week as an act of Pride and self-compassion.
🌈 Reminder: Pride is not only a celebration - it's also an opportunity to honor the parts of yourself that have worked hard to survive, grow, and remain authentic. Those parts deserve gentleness, gratitude, and care.
